One of the primary needs for an endocrinologist is a pocketbook that can serve as a guide for performing and interpreting these tests. Unfortunately, there is no single source of these protocols, procedures, and interpretation of these tests in the country or even in the Southeast Asia region. This protocol manual is designed to be a ?ready reckoner? for endocrinologists for performing these tests. Disorders of various endocrine glands, including pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal, gonads, and bone and mineral disorders, have been addressed. The book includes prerequisites and indications of a given test, principles of the testing, detailed procedure, and interpretation. Participant information and instruction sheets have been included, when applicable, to be given as a handout to patients prior to these tests. The manual contains algorithms (e.g., for approaching cases with hypoglycemia) and interpretation provided in a tabular format. It also lists troubleshooting measures for specific tests, when applicable. Further, clinical case scenarios substantiated by clinical and radiological images have been incorporated in the manual to highlight the procedure and interpretation of these tests in the management of challenging clinical cases. The manual is designed to be a comprehensive yet concise document covering all these aspects. Besides blood-based investigations, procedures which are undertaken in challenging endocrine scenarios, including inferior petrosal sinus sampling, and adrenal venous sampling have been elucidated in a crisp and practical manner. . 606 $aEndocrinology 606 $aInternal medicine 606 $aEndocrine glands 606 $aEndocrinology 606 $aInternal Medicine 606 $aEndocrine System 615 0$aEndocrinology. 615 0$aInternal medicine. 615 0$aEndocrine glands. 615 14$aEndocrinology. 615 24$aInternal Medicine. 615 24$aEndocrine System. 676 $a616.4075 700 $aBhadada$b Sanjay$01588641 701 $aDas$b Liza$01588642 701 $aPal$b Rimesh$01588643 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910805579903321 996 $aDiagnostic Protocols in Endocrinology$93882667 997 $aUNINA
