About the department
The Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Oncology, Hematology, Pulmonology, Endocrinology, Infectology, Allergology, Nephrology and Rheumatology at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers the full range of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic services in these fields. Of particular interest is the therapy of oncological and hematological diseases, gastrointestinal pathologies, diabetes mellitus, endocrine diseases, cardiac pathologies, pulmonary and rheumatic diseases, as well as intensive care. The department employs experienced specialists in various fields of pediatrics, who make every effort to ensure a speedy recovery for young patients. The prestigious German Ausgezeichnet. FÜR KINDER certificate confirms the high quality of the department's services. The medical facility has a pleasant and friendly atmosphere, doctors devote enough time to personal communication with young patients and their parents. The department's modern technical base allows the specialists to diagnose and treat the child in the most comfortable conditions and with the highest efficiency. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Reinhard Berner.
All diagnostic options of the department correspond to the highest technical level. For example, the department has state-of-the-art equipment for the examination of children with suspected cancers, pulmonary function tests, ECG, echocardiography, EEG, gastrointestinal endoscopy, pulmonary endoscopy, sleep tests (within the pediatric sleep laboratory). Modern ultrasound equipment ensures accurate preoperative diagnostics. In addition, the department has specialized outpatient clinics for the treatment of coagulation disorders / hemophilia, hemangiomas, infectious diseases in children, etc.
The department provides both diagnostics and treatment to many young patients with gastrointestinal diseases. The department's specialists most often deal with the treatment of such pathologies as gastroesophageal reflux disease, coeliac disease, infection with Helicobacter pylori, carbohydrate malabsorption, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis, chronic hepatitis B and C, Wilson's disease, liver and pancreatic diseases, short bowel syndrome and other pathologies. First of all, the specialists use the most effective drug therapy regimens. Endoscopic therapeutic procedures are often performed when foreign bodies enter the gastrointestinal tract, as well as in the case of internal bleeding, esophageal varices and other pathologies.
Another important focus of the department's work is on the treatment of congenital and acquired heart defects in children. Pediatric cardiologists also deal with the treatment of inflammatory heart diseases, cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias and Marfan syndrome. To assess the state of the cardiovascular system, the department's specialists have modern diagnostic rooms equipped with devices for electrocardiography, echocardiography, ergometry, and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. Doctors also conduct cardiac CT and MRI, if required.
The department employs highly qualified endocrinologists, whose tasks include the provision of medical care to children with diabetes mellitus, obesity, short stature, gigantism, puberty disorders, thyroid and adrenal diseases, including benign and malignant endocrine tumors. The doctor determines the required set of diagnostic examinations during the initial appointment, and after receiving the results, he develops the optimal treatment regimen. As a rule, drug therapy becomes an option of choice. Insulin pump therapy is prescribed for children with diabetes mellitus, sometimes the department's specialists also use hypoglycemic medications and other treatment methods.
The department also employs a team of pediatric pulmonologists. The specialists diagnose and treat pneumonia, obstructive bronchitis, bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital lung malformations, sleep-related breathing disorders, interstitial lung diseases and other pathologies. To make an accurate diagnosis, the department carries out pulmonary function tests, laboratory tests, endoscopic examinations, and also uses instrumental diagnostic methods. The treatment is based on pharmacotherapy. When indicated, therapeutic endoscopic procedures are performed.
