Abstract
In this case study challenge, a relatively healthy 15-year-old female adolescent presents to a family practice clinic with complaints of frequent urination, chills, constant drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, and thirst. Distinguishing between possible disorders can be challenging for practitioners because many endocrine disease processes present with similar clinical features. The key to successfully diagnosing endocrine disorders includes rapidly ruling out the most urgent and life-threatening possibilities. Knowing when to refer and to whom is essential. Abnormal laboratory results may require immediate referral for specialized diagnosis and management.
