Overview
Hormones are responsible for performing many functions in the body. Endocrine glands, which produce hormones, constitute the endocrine (hormonal) system. Pituitary, hypothalamus, thyroid and parathyroid, pancreas, ovaries and testes, adrenal glands and endothelial cells covering the inner surface of the vessels are among the glands that make up the endocrine system. Insufficient secretion, no secretion, or excessive secretion of hormones produced in the body causes hormonal diseases. Additionally, metabolic disorders may occur as a result of hereditary disorders or due to environmental factors. In our Endocrinology and Metabolism Diseases Department, our specialist doctors diagnose, treat and monitor diseases and metabolic disorders related to hormones that ensure the healthy functioning of the body.
Our hospital has a well-equipped laboratory that performs hormone tests and all other parameters needed in endocrinology and metabolic diseases, and a radiology unit equipped with advanced technology. There is no single type of diagnosis and treatment for endocrine diseases. With the awareness that “it is not the disease, it is the patient”, treatment is planned according to the patient’s condition.
Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of diseases are carried out with precision by performing blood tests, screening tests, radiological imaging methods and biopsy if deemed necessary by specialist physicians.
