About the department
The Department of Rheumatology at the Rheumatology Clinic Dr. Angelika Fink Berlin offers all the possibilities of modern medicine for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of rheumatic diseases with local and systemic connective tissue lesions. The department provides services in the field of preventive medicine, with a special focus on Check-up examinations and preventive vaccinations. The department also offers a second opinion for suspected rheumatic diseases. Structurally, the department consists of reception rooms, a modern laboratory, instrumental diagnostic rooms, and treatment facilities. The clinic strictly observes hygienic standards. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are carried out under conditions of absolute sterility. The department's team of rheumatologists specializes in conservative treatment, so patients receive drug therapy with pills, infusion therapy, and intra-articular injections. Great importance is attached to an individualized approach to each patient in order to provide the most effective care in a specific clinical situation. The Head Physician of the department is Dr. med. Angelika Fink.
The focus of the department’s medical team is on patients with rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, collagenosis, vasculitis, fibromyalgia, and myalgia of unknown origin. Rheumatic diseases are systemic in nature, so internal organs are often involved in the inflammatory process. In this regard, the department's specialists provide medical care to patients with thyroid diseases, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, diabetes mellitus, and neurological pathologies. Doctors conduct comprehensive diagnostic examinations that allow for the timely detection of pathological changes and the initiation of the necessary treatment.
The department has a modern laboratory that performs general clinical blood, urine, and stool tests, a rheumatoid factor test, genetic testing, tumor marker tests, immunological tests, and many others. The results of laboratory testing play a key role in making a diagnosis. The department also conducts the following instrumental examinations: electrocardiography (including 24-hour ECG monitoring and stress electrocardiography), 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, pulmonary function testing, and ultrasound scans. The department's doctors devote enough time to conducting a complete diagnosis, the results of which largely determine the success of the upcoming treatment.
The department uses drug therapy to treat rheumatic diseases. Depending on the diagnosis and characteristics of the course of the pathology, the patient may be prescribed basic anti-inflammatory drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, TNF-alpha inhibitors, biological drugs, corticosteroids, drugs with a high content of vitamin C, and vitamin complexes. If clinically indicated, the department performs intra-articular glucocorticoid injections.
