The definitive source in endocrinology for more than 40 years. DeGroot’s Endocrinology, remains the comprehensive, international reference of choice for today’s endocrinologists and fellows. A full peer review of the previous edition, conducted by a largely new group of renowned editors, was used to update this trusted, two-volume resource. In-depth coverage of both basic and clinical aspects of endocrinology and up-to-date information on the treatment and management of endocrine disorders are provided by a diverse group of expert contributors from six continents. A full-color format and helpful algorithms summarize clinical decision-making and practical approaches to patient management
- Organizes content by all the glands that regulate the endocrine system while integrating basic science and clinical presentations of disease
- Emphasizes basic science and evidence-based practice throughout
- Features extensive updates to content on thyroid and adrenal disfunction, endocrine-disrupting chemicals and human disease, clinical management of diabetes, and advances in genetics
- Includes algorithms to outline effective treatment protocols
- Contains new emphasis boxes that highlight key points in each chapter
Endocrinologists, endocrinology fellows/trainees worldwide, pediatric endocrinologists

R. Paul Robertson, M.D. is an Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington and at the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Robertson has published 395 peer-reviewed manuscripts with primary emphasis on pancreatic islet function in humans, animals, and clonal cell lines. His early studies were the first to demonstrate defects involving the adverse effects of glucose toxicity on the critical insulin promoters Pdx-1 and MafA associated with glucose toxicity. More recent research demonstrated adverse metabolic consequences of using the liver as a transplant site for pancreatic islet transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and in autoislet recipients following pancreatectomy for chronic, painful pancreatitis.
