Metabolic and endocrine emergencies

Description:

This book helps clinicians to promptly recognize endocrine and metabolic emergencies, and provides them with recommendations for rational therapy and management of the acute phases of the disorders. Clinicians will also get a clear understanding of the mechanisms of the various disorders as well as the rationale of each particular management regimen. Treatment protocols are presented succinctly in a step-by-step manner, and clinical laboratory data and findings are related to each type of emergency. The second edition includes many updates and revisions, as well as a completely new chapter on hypophosphatemic crisis. Clear diagrams, graphs, and tables are incorporated throughout the second edition to effectively illustrate and summarize information.
