It presents information in a succinct format that allows practitioners to find the answers they need quickly and easily--even while the patient encouter is still in progress. This practical guide will become a frequent companion of endocriniologists, bone and mineral specialists, and nephrologists. Key Features * Brings together current bone and mineral metabolism methods in one easily accessible volume * Provides a quick reference for immediate handling of bone and mineral disorders * Presents information in bullets, highlights, tables, and decision trees rather than lengthy text * Addresses problems likely to be seen at all ages, from pre-term infant to the centenarian * Ideal for practicing physicians, residents and medical students
