About the department
The Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at the DKD HELIOS Clinic Wiesbaden offers the full range of services for the diagnostics and treatment of various diseases in young patients. The focus is on the children with inflammatory bowel disease, short bowel syndrome, chronic liver diseases, celiac disease, congenital malformations of the kidneys and urinary tract, type 1 diabetes mellitus and other pathologies. The department's specialists have at their disposal state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment for a comprehensive assessment of the health status of children. The medical facility has modern laboratories, an endoscopy unit for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as diagnostic rooms with advanced devices for imaging studies, including X-ray, ultrasound and MRI. The doctors working in the department care not only about high-quality medical care, but also about the fact that young patients feel as comfortable as possible during treatment. The specialists also devote enough time to personal communication with parents so that they clearly understand what kind of disease their child is suffering from, and what effective methods are recommended for treatment. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Markus Knuf.
Pediatric gastroenterologists working in the department provide comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the digestive tract and liver. Of particular interest is medical care for children with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, short bowel syndrome, celiac disease and chronic liver pathologies, including hepatitis B and C. At the stage of diagnostics, the specialists conduct laboratory, instrumental and endoscopic diagnostic examinations, the results of which allow the attending physician to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the stage of the disease. The treatment regimen is elaborated for each child individually. Whenever possible, the specialists of the department use only conservative treatment, namely drug therapy with innovative drugs. In especially difficult cases, therapeutic endoscopic procedures are performed.
Children often suffer from kidney and urinary tract diseases. The department employs specialized doctors, who using a wide range of diagnostic studies (ultrasound, urodynamic tests, MR urography, etc.), identify disorders in the functioning of the kidneys and urinary system, as well as conduct effective treatment to eliminate them. In addition to taking a complex of medications, biofeedback (BFB) is used in children with impaired bladder function. The BFB technique allows restoring self-regulation of physiological functions of the body and demonstrating high efficiency in the treatment of bladder dysfunction.
Another important focus of the medical facility is the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children. The classical methods of treating pathology are diet therapy and insulin therapy. The department also provides insulin pump therapy, which makes the child's life much easier. An insulin pump is an electronic device that infuses insulin according to the pre-programmed individual settings. The department conducts training sessions on lifestyle modification in diabetes mellitus for both young patients and their parents. During these training sessions, the patients learn about the features of their disease and methods of its control. The young patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are also provided with nutritional consultations, since a diet must be followed to compensate for the pathology.
The department's therapeutic offer is complemented by the treatment of allergic diseases, pathologies of the lungs and other organs of the respiratory system, morbid obesity in children. The health of young patients with these ailments is in the safe hands of the specially trained pediatricians who have many years of clinical experience. The specialists conduct a comprehensive examination, after which they prescribe the required therapeutic measures.

About hospital
The DKD HELIOS Clinic Wiesbaden has long made a name for itself in the international medical arena by introducing an optimal model of medical care, combining the use of the most advanced medical technologies, the experience of highly qualified doctors and impeccable quality of patient care. The medical facility first opened its doors to patients in 1970. The world famous Mayo Clinic Rochester in America served as a model for the design of the medical complex. Since the foundation of the clinic, the main direction of its activities has been comprehensive diagnostics of complex diseases integrated into an interdisciplinary treatment concept. Today, an integral part of clinical practice is also preventive diagnostics aimed at the early detection of pathological changes in the human body. In recent years, the clinic has been actively developing the direction of surgery, in which it has significantly succeeded. The clinic enjoys a reputation as one of the best medical facilities in Europe in the field of endocrine and colorectal surgery, as well as in hernia repair surgery.
The clinic has 24 specialized departments. Each of them offers a team of experienced doctors, whose main value is the patient's health. The work of all doctors of the medical facility is based on a single credo – "Treat not a disease, but a patient". According to this belief, the course of treatment should be as individual as possible, taking into account the patient's physical characteristics, lifestyle, diet, emotional state, etc.
The clinic's bed capacity consists of 138 inpatient beds and 60 beds in a day hospital. Many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. The diagnostic and treatment rooms, like the operating rooms of the clinic, are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure the observance of strict hygiene and safety standards. The advanced medical equipment allows detecting the slightest changes in the functioning of organs and their structure with impeccable accuracy, thanks to which doctors can diagnose complex pathologies at the very early stages. This greatly increases the chances of a successful cure.
The location of the clinic in Wiesbaden, known as one of the oldest thermal spas in Europe, is another pleasant advantage for the patients. Arriving at the clinic for a preventive diagnostic examination, one can improve his health in the healing thermal springs, as well as enjoy the sightseeing of historical monuments. The medical center is located in the immediate vicinity of the English style Spa Park founded in the distant 1852, so in the free time from medical procedures one can take a pleasant walk in the beautiful park.
