About the department
The Department of Endocrinology at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers all the options of modern medicine for the prevention, diagnostics and treatment of endocrine diseases, hormonal and metabolic disorders. The department's specialists have particular competence in the treatment of thyroid diseases, diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis. In addition, the department's tasks include the treatment of pathologies of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, calcium metabolism disorders and sexual dysfunction. To provide top-class medical care, the department has excellent diagnostic options, as well as uses effective classical and advanced treatment methods. Many patients undergo diagnostics and treatment on an outpatient basis, without compulsory hospitalization. The treatment regimen is developed for each patient on an individual basis, after an accurate study of the diagnostic results and assessment of the general health condition. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Lorenz Hofbauer.
Many patients with thyroid pathologies seek medical help from the department. The most common diseases in this spectrum are nodular goiter, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. The diagnostic protocol includes the use of a wide range of laboratory tests and instrumental examinations. To treat thyroid diseases, the department's doctors use various drug therapy regimens, including thyrostatic drugs, iodine-containing drugs, symptomatic treatment and hormonal therapy. The patients are often prescribed diet therapy and physiotherapy procedures that contribute to the achievement of a successful treatment outcome. The attending physician selects a particular set of therapeutic measures based on the results of the patient's preliminary diagnostics.
An integral part of the department's clinical practice is the prevention, diagnostics and treatment of type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. To prevent the pathology, the specialists of the medical facility recommend leading a healthy lifestyle – revising the diet and eliminating harmful eating habits, normalizing body weight, and paying attention to regular physical activities. If diabetes mellitus has already been diagnosed, the doctors focus on symptomatic therapy, since as of today there are no therapeutic methods that could cure the patient completely. The patients with diabetes mellitus are advised to follow a diet and give up bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol). With type 1 diabetes mellitus, insulin therapy is necessarily prescribed: insulin pump therapy or subcutaneous insulin injections. With type 2 diabetes mellitus, antidiabetic agents are prescribed. In addition, it is important for a patient with diabetes mellitus to do sports regularly, walk in the fresh air and lead an active lifestyle.
The department operates a specialized Osteoporosis Center certified by the German Society of Osteology (DVO). Osteoporosis is a systemic pathology that affects all bone tissues. Various laboratory tests and the very latest types of bone densitometry (bone mineral density measurement) are used to detect osteoporosis. The main goal of osteoporosis treatment is to reduce the risk of osteoporotic bone fractures. The therapy is based on the intake of bisphosphonates, myacalcium, calcium, vitamin D, hormone drugs and painkillers to relieve pain. The patients suffering from osteoporosis are also strongly recommended to do physical therapy and walk in the fresh air.
The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of the following endocrine diseases:
- Thyroid diseases (nodular goiter, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism)
- Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus
- Diabetic foot syndrome
- Osteoporosis
- Metabolic disorders, including calcium metabolic disorders
- Pituitary diseases
- Adrenal diseases
- Obesity due to hormonal disorders
- Infertility due to hormonal disorders
- Hirsutism (excess body hair growth) in women
- Other endocrine pathologies
The department's diagnostic and therapeutic options include:
- Diagnostics
- Laboratory tests (for example, hormone testing, functional tests, bone metabolism markers and tumor markers)
- X-ray scanning
- Computed tomography
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Bone densitometry (DEXA) – a method for measuring bone mineral density
- Scintigraphy
- Treatment
- Drug therapy
- Insulin therapy for diabetes mellitus
- Diet therapy
- Other medical services
