The practical manual for pediatricians and endocrinologists "Practical Endocrinology and Diabetes in Children, Second Edition", continues to provide a very practical overview of managing endocrine problems in children. Coverage of each disorder reflects its clinical importance. The material is organized in such a way that it can be referred to at a moment's notice. Helpful overviews of epidemiology, pathophysiology, investigations, differential diagnoses and psychosocial issues support the advice on management principles.
