About the book
In the context of the fast-growing knowledge in the field of endocrinology, addressing adrenal gland pathology and therapeutic novelties in adrenal diseases is a real challenge.
The adrenal gland is an essential gland for survival and the main endocrine pathway to cope with stress, which makes its pathology complex and resounding throughout the body. From Cushing syndrome to adrenal tumors or adrenal cancer, each adrenal disease is a book in itself, from the perspective of diagnostic and therapeutic elements that can be reviewed and redefined, exposed in detail, and updated according to newly available evidence.
Equally, the interlinkages that the adrenal gland has in the human body create the premises both for the description of the intimate mechanisms that induce adrenal diseases on other tissues and organs and also for strategic considerations when it comes to treatment.
This book, which is aimed at both endocrinologists and practitioners in other medical fields, therefore offers an insight into the mysteries of adrenal disease and a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge of this gland, providing an easy-to-follow format that focuses on the most important developments in the field of etiopathogenesis, clinical and paraclinical diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions.
