Zusammenfassung:The second edition of The Parathyroids, Basic and Clinical Concepts is a comprehensive source of information that most endocrinologists will want to have on their bookshelves. Not only does it describe the basic physiology of the parathyroids, but also the clinical aspects of hyper- and hypoparathyroid states. The authors have retained the general organization of the first edition but have updated and revised all the sections and added a few new chapters. The list of authors is impressive, comprising the many students of G. Auerbach, whose laboratory isolated the hormone and whose untimely death ten years ago inspired the first edition of the book. The younger generation of scientists from several other laboratories, who have made significant contributions to parathyroid physiology and molecular genetics, are also included. Chapters about the presentation of clinical primary hyperparathyroidism in Europe, India, Brazil and China are of particular interest. Classic features of the disease are found that contrast with the often asymptomatic disease found in the West, which is discovered through modest increases in serum calcium from biochemical screening.
