Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study of metabolic diseases and abnormalities of the endocrine glands that produce the hormones necessary for the body.
Hormones produced by the thyroid gland regulate metabolic processes and are also responsible for the development and growth of body tissues. The pancreas produces hormones that regulate sugar levels – glucagon and insulin. The adrenal glands produce hormones that control blood pressure, mineral metabolism and urinary function. But the main ‘conductor’ is the hypophysis. It regulates the functioning of the whole system.
At the PRIZMA Medical Centre in Kyiv, an endocrinologist diagnoses, treats and prevents diseases related to hormonal imbalance.
Most often, people come for a consultation with an endocrinologist on the recommendation of other specialists: a neurologist, a gynecologist or a general practitioner. After all, any abnormalities in the endocrine system are linked to the functioning of other systems in the human body.
