to endocrine disorders commonly seen in consultation, with emphasis on key components of evaluation and treatment. This

New chapters cover obesity, vitamin D deficiency, autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes, and endocrine disorders in
HIV/AIDS. Key points are bulleted for easy reference and clinical pearls are highlighted in bold-faced type. The
