title: [Some endocrinological and therapeutic problems from the geriatric aspect].
abstract: Age-specific criteria must be taken into consideration in the treatment of hormonal dysregulations during senescence and senium. A general transmission of the endocrine conditions of younger periods of life to the senium is not possible and induces the possibilities of complications which are demonstrated at the example of the thyroidal and parathyroidal metabolism. The course of endocrine crises is the severer the older the patients concerned are. Dealing with the pathophysiological findings, the author demonstrates and explains therapeutic standards according to own experiences.
