Quick Guide to Endocrinology: The Pediatric Version, 2nd Edition, provides a concise reference addressing the physiology, diagnostics, and laboratory testing of endocrine conditions in young patients. Authored by William E. Winter, Brittany S. Bruggeman, and Laura Michelle Jacobsen, this updated volume supports clinical laboratory scientists, pediatric clinicians, residents, and nursing trainees who require clear explanations of hormonal regulation and assay interpretation.

The volume examines fundamental endocrine processes alongside specific organ systems. Readers explore hormone secretion, transport, and action before reviewing disorders of the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive glands. Additional chapters explain calcium homeostasis, evaluating clinical manifestations and diagnostic evaluation strategies for conditions such as hypercalcemia.

This second edition offers expanded pediatric coverage, introducing discussions on molecular testing methods for endocrine diseases. The text serves laboratory staff, fellows, and advanced practice providers seeking structured diagnostic insights across pediatric care environments.
