Endocrine and Metabolic Testing Manual

This book has been put together by a team of endocrinologists from the Metabolic Unit at Wilford Hall Medical Center (WHMC). Their main purpose is to provide a succinct, practical guide for the physician who needs to make an informed endocrine diagnosis using standard methods and the most cost-effective procedures. The manual includes the latest CPT (Common Procedural Terminology) codes and indicates those in which direct physician involvement is particularly important. There is also a comprehensive listing of tests and cost-effective, standardized testing methods. The testing of all endocrine organ systems, diabetes-related problems, renal, lipoprotein disorders, and physical fitness is addressed and helpful algorithms are presented.
