• Hyperparathyroidism (primary/secondary/tertiary, calcium-PTH axis, calcimimetics)
• Metabolic Syndrome (ATP III/IDF criteria, insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk)
• Obesity (BMI classification, GLP-1 agonists, bariatric surgery)
• Pheochromocytoma (catecholamine excess, metanephrines, alpha-blockade, MEN2/VHL)
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS, Rotterdam criteria, hyperandrogenism)
• Thyroid Disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's)
