Endocrinology deals with the hormone-producing glands and the metabolic conditions they influence, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders and diseases of the pituitary and adrenal glands. Most of these conditions are diagnosed with blood tests and imaging and treated with medication and lifestyle measures, with long-term follow-up. MedLuxLife arranges a consultation with an endocrinologist at our partner hospital and coordinates any further tests or treatment.
For surgical treatment of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, see Endocrine Surgery and the Thyroid and Parathyroid Clinic.
