The book Clinical Cases in Endocrinology edited by Professor Pramila Kalra is a laudable initiative. The book has a clinical approach which makes it very easy for practicing clinicians to understand and appreciate the intricacies of diagnosis and management of complex endocrine diseases. A unique feature of the book is that, the authors across the country, who are young, enthusiastic and have an evidence-based approach to endocrinology. The approach and investigation and discussion of the cases are highly relevant to our country taking into view the infrastructure and the accessibility for these investigations. The frequently ask questions (FAQs) in each case is pragmatic and simple.
Overall the Clinical Cases in Endocrinology is a fresh and scientific approach to endocrine cases as endocrinology should be practiced. The book will be of great help to postgraduates and medical students interested in endocrinology to learn the skills of management of endocrine cases. I hope physicians will make use of the knowledge and experience imbibed in this book by the authors, to improve their skills in the management of endocrine cases in future.

Preface
The thought of the book came into my mind about a year back. The typical problem which Endocrinology trainees and broader specialty residents face in India is that they do not have a book in Endocrinology which discusses clinical cases in the real world in a very simple fashion so I thought a case-based approach written in a very straightforward manner would benefit the readers.
The book has been coauthored by many leading Endocrinologists in the field. The book has been written with the daily clinical Endocrinology problems in mind and how the thought process should go further in evaluating these cases.
I have tried to cover most of the important topics in the field of Endocrinology. I hope the book will help residents and upcoming Endocrinology trainees.
