Description

This concise practical guide introduces the investigation, diagnosis, and treatment of common metabolic bone diseases and disorders of calcium metabolism. All of the most common such diseases are covered, including osteoporosis, osteomalacia, malignant bone disease, Paget's disease, and hyper- and hypocalcaemia. The volume concludes with a brief look at some of the rarer conditions that might be encountered. The book summarizes briefly the most recent advances in the understanding of the etiology of these diseases and provides useful guidance on treatment regimes. This volume will be an invaluable guide for the many general physicians, rheumatologists, geriatrics specialists, and endocrinologists who encounter patients with bone disorders.
