In these step-by-step procedures for problem solving there is emphasis on possible associated signs and symptoms that may point to an endocrine disturbance. History and physical examination are directed to the detection of endocrine disease, for which a form may be helpful.1 When the suspicion of an endocrine disturbance arises, such a hypothesis can be tested by specific examinations.
