Description
Written by world experts, this books follows upon the monumental success of the first edition of The Parathyroids, which
was universally acclaimed as the best text on the subject. An authoritative reference that spans the basic science of parathyroid hormone
treatment to major clinical disorders in a superb, single compendium, The Parathyroids offers an objective and authoritative
view on controversial clinical issues in this rapidly changing field. Every medical school library and virtually every major hospital
library will need this book as a reference for students and clinicians.
Audience
Students, researchers, fellows, and professionals in endocrinology and bone/mineral research.
