This indispensable volume is designed to facilitate the best possible physician-patient

in a clinically useful and patient-centric manner. Comprehensive and covering such
topics as Professionalism and the Art of Patient-centric Thyroidology, the Immunopathogenesis
of Graves' Disease, and the Diagnosis and Management of Thyroid Storm, the book addresses
all the important refinements in the treatment of Graves' disease in recent years.
These include new indications and contraindications for antithyroid drugs, improved
approaches to radioactive iodine therapy, the development of novel surgical techniques,
and a better understanding of the combined use of these modalities, among other developments.
Also addressed are the advances in the treatment of GO, including the use of disease
activity and severity assessments to inform management decisions and the completion
of the first randomized controlled therapeutic trials. Developed by a renowned group
of internationally respected authorities, Graves' Disease: A Comprehensive Guide for
Clinicians is a significant new reference that will be of great interest to all clinicians
who treat this debilitating condition
