What is endocrinology and what conditions does it treat?
Endocrinology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of the endocrine system, which includes the glands and their hormones. Common conditions treated in endocrinology include:
- Thyroid disorders: Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, thyroiditis.
- Adrenal gland disorders: Adrenal insufficiency, Cushing's syndrome, hyperaldosteronism.
- Growing problems: Growth hormone deficiency, gigantism, dwarfism.
- Disorders of calcium metabolism: Hypoparathyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis.
- Gonadal disorders: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), hypogonadism, infertility.
- Pituitary gland disorders: non-secreting pituitary nodules, prolactinomas, secreting pituitary adenomas.
Diagnostic methods in endocrinology
Diagnostic methods in endocrinology are varied and can include:
- Blood tests:Hormonal: Measurement of hormone levels in the blood, such as TSH, T3, T4 for thyroid function, blood glucose for diabetes, cortisol for adrenal gland function.Biochemists: Assessment of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, lipid levels, etc.
- Urine tests:Used to assess adrenal gland function, measuring cortisol in 24-hour urine.
- Stimulation and suppression tests:Assessment of endocrine gland responsiveness by administering hormones or agents that stimulate or suppress gland function.
- Thyroid ultrasound:Non-invasive method to evaluate the structure of the thyroid gland and identify nodules or other abnormalities.
- Advanced imaging:CT (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging): to evaluate the adrenal glands, pituitary gland and other endocrine structures.
- Thyroid scintigraphy: Using radioactive isotopes to assess the function and structure of the thyroid gland.
- Needle aspiration thyroid puncture-biopsy: Taking a tissue sample from thyroid nodules for cytologic analysis.
Why opt for thyroid ultrasound?
Thyroid ultrasound is the first imaging investigation necessary at any thyroid consultation because it is a non-invasive, accurate and fast method that allows visualization of the thyroid gland structure in detail. It helps to detect nodules, cysts, inflammation and other structural abnormalities of the thyroid, providing essential information for correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
Types of conditions treated:
Thyroid nodules, thyroiditis and other thyroid disorders.
How do we diagnose?
Using precise ultrasound imaging and detailed clinical assessment.
Treatment methods:
Personalized for each patient, including active monitoring or minimally invasive interventions.
How does the treatment go?
