Werner & Ingbar's The Thyroid: A Fundamental and Clinical Text, 11th Edition, is a comprehensive medical reference addressing the development, normal physiology, and clinical management of thyroid diseases. Designed for endocrinologists, thyroid surgeons, and clinicians, this volume integrates foundational science with clinical evaluation and therapy.
The volume covers thyroid anatomy, biochemistry, and hormone synthesis alongside the assessment of thyroid function. Clinical discussions explore conditions ranging from thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism to thyroid cancer, highlighting structural diagnostics and systemic effects.
Presented in full color for this 2020 edition, the text incorporates perspectives from international contributors. It also addresses the influence of thyroid dysfunction across specific clinical contexts, such as pregnancy and the aging thyroid.
