Principles and Practices of Thyroid Gland Disorders

Description

This book is a comprehensive resource providing the latest information on the diagnosis and management of thyroid disorders.

Beginning with an overview of thyroid physiology and symptoms and evaluation of thyroid problems, the following chapters discuss many benign and malignant disorders and their medical and surgical management.

Complete chapters are dedicated to ‘special circumstances’ including neonatal and junvenile thyrotoxicosis, and hyper and hypo-thyroidism in pregnancy.

In depth coverage of topics such as Graves Disease, Hashimoto Disease, paediatric Graves, and sick euthyroid syndrome, is also provided.

Key Features

• A comprehensive resource, providing up-to-date information on various thyroid problems and their management
• Written by experts with an enormous knowledge-and clinical experience
• The book begins with chapters on physiology of thyroid axis, manifestations of thyroid hormone deficiency, and laboratory evaluation of various thyroid problems
• Subsequent chapters discuss benign and malignant thyroid disorders and their medical and surgical management
• Further chapters deal with toxic multindular goiter and toxic adenoma followed by chapter on non-toxic goiter
• Special situations like neonatal and juvenile thyrotoxicosis, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism in pregnancy have been discussed in detail
