The department diagnoses and treats patients suffering from diabetes mellitus. This pathology is one of the most common diseases in the world. As a rule, the main reasons for the development of diabetes mellitus are overweight and impaired functioning of the pancreas. This causes decreased insulin production, which leads to a violation of carbohydrate metabolism and high blood sugar levels. There are several types of diabetes mellitus. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is more common in young people. As a rule, it develops after viral infections, due to autoimmune disorders, hereditary predisposition. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common type of this pathology. It mainly develops in people over the age of 40. People with obesity and sedentary lifestyle are at risk. There is also gestational diabetes mellitus, which develops in pregnant women.
The disease can cause various complications, such as sensorimotor polyneuropathy, angiopathy of the retinal and kidney vessels, as well as diabetic foot syndrome. During the treatment, the department's doctors give recommendations on nutrition, prescribe antihyperglycemic drugs, insulin therapy, and teach the patient to independently measure blood sugar levels. Weight loss and increased physical activity are also very important. Thanks to the care of qualified specialists and observance of the recommendations, the patient will be able to lead an active life for many years.
The department also provides treatment of malignant and benign thyroid tumors, as well as neuroendocrine neoplasms. It uses all modern methods of thyroid cancer diagnostics and treatment. The doctors carry out ultrasound examinations, biopsies, as well as computed tomography and PET-CT scans. An individual treatment plan is developed at the tumor boards. If necessary, specialists from related medical fields are involved in the proces. The main treatment methods for thyroid cancer include radioactive iodine therapy and surgery, which suggests a total or partial removal of the gland with adjacent lymph nodes. The removal of the malignant tumor will be followed by a life-long therapy with thyroid hormones. It is aimed at suppressing the activity of the remaining pathological cells and replenishing the postoperative deficiency of thyroid hormones.
