Androgen Deficiency and Testosterone Replacement: Current Controversies and Strategies (Current Clinical Urology)

Androgen Deficiency and Testosterone Replacement: Current Controversies and Strategies explores the difficulties around the diagnosis and treatment of androgen deficiency. The text examines the available evidence concerning the diagnosis and treatment of men with low testosterone. It also examines controversies in the identification and management of these men. While the information contained within will be of use to those who specialize in androgen deficiency and sexual medicine, the scope of the book will serve as a source of basic information about testosterone replacement and as a source of reasoned analysis of the controversies surrounding testosterone replacement in the aging male. Physicians and physician extenders will be able to apply evidence management principles to the evaluation and treatment of men with testosterone deficiency; supported by the most recent practice guidelines available. The authors represent a select group of physicians with expertise in androgen deficiency and replacement. Androgen Deficiency and Testosterone Replacement: Current Controversies and Strategies will be of great value to all physicians and physician extenders who deliver health care to men of all ages.-- Source other than Library of Congress Androgen Deficiency and Testosterone Replacement Preface Contents Contributors Chapter 1: The Institute of Medicine White Paper on Testosterone: Current Perspective Chapter 2: The Laboratory Diagnosis of Testosterone De fi ciency Chapter 3: The Clinical Diagnosis of Androgen De fi ciency Chapter 4: The Use of Patient Reported Outcome Questionnaires in the Diagnosis of Androgen De fi ciency Chapter 5: Testosterone and Its Association with Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disease Chapter 6: The Role of Androgens in Prostate Cancer Chapter 7: Androgen De fi ciency in the Adolescent Male Chapter 8: Effects of Androgen De fi ciency and Replacement on Male Fertility Chapter 9: HIV and Testosterone in Men Chapter 10: Treatment Options for Testosterone Replacement Therapy Chapter 11: Alternate Therapies for Testosterone Replacement Index
