Reviews

From the reviews: This book offers an overview of life-threatening endocrine disorders as well as alterations in the endocrine axes seen in nonendocrine critical illness. ! targeted at those actively practicing or in-training in the endocrinology and critical care subspecialties. ! This book does fill a gap in the field by focusing exclusively on endocrinology and acute illness. ! I would recommend this book most highly to practicing endocrinologists and those in endocrine training, although critical care specialists would likely find it very informative as well.
