The patient with endocrine disease
Uncontrolled endocrine pathology can cause significant adverse complications during a patient ’s perioperative journey. With the ageing population, increasing co morbidity and rising obesity rates, the incidence of endocrine disease in elective and emergency work is likely to increase. A thorough understanding of diagnosis and management perioperatively is essential to prevent any excess m orbidity and mortality. The perioperative period may precipitate endocrine emergencies which require rapid diagnosis and life-saving treatments.
