Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Autoimmune Diseases in Endocrinology is a comprehensive and novel text that examines
key features that predispose individuals to autoimmune diseases. The text begins with
three introductory chapters which provide sufficient information so that anyone, including
those without a background in recent immunology, will be able to understand the developments
in the field. The next and largest section of the book concerns autoimmune thyroid
disease, and authors of these chapters take the reader through the basic epidemiology,
genetic and environmental risk factors, immunopathogenesis, and the diagnostic and
management aspect of the disease. The next section discusses Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
In the final section, authors explain other autoimmune endocrinopathies, including
Addison's disease, premature ovarian failure, autoimmune hypophysitis, and autoimmune
polyglandular syndrome types 1 and 2. Comprehensive and timely, Autoimmune Diseases
in Endocrinology will become an essential reference for all endocrinologists and internal
medicine practitioners working in this field
