Summary
In recent years, the clinical evolution of thyroid diseases has been studied exhaustively as new discoveries have been
made about thyroid malfunction and the effective management of patients. Thyroid Diseases presents a comprehensive
exposition of a range of disorders caused by thyroid dysfunction. With contributions by well-known experts in the
field, the book is the first compendium in several decades to assemble a vast amount of data and research into one
volume.


Following a methodological format, each chapter explores a different malady or condition. After defining the
dysfunction or disease, the text presents the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, first and second level
tests for diagnosis, first and second line therapies, prognosis, and recommendations for follow-up.


Highlighted topics include:



뷪ransient forms of hyper- and hypothyroidism
뷨ubclinical hyper- and hypothyroidism
뷪hyroid dysfunction during gestation and postpartum
뷪he influence of iodine on the thyroid during pregnancy
뷪he importance of drugs that modify thyroid function
뷪hyroid disrupters that affect thyroid homeostasis
뷪he bimodal and/or transient development of some thyroid diseases
뷪he evolution of diagnosis, priorities of therapies, and lifelong monitoring of patients


All of the contributors to this text pursued long periods of training in elite research laboratories. They are active
investigators and well known in the international arena. The information presented in this volume is invaluable for
practicing clinicians and those training in internal medicine, endocrinology, surgery, and other areas of medicine.
