About the department
The Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Endocrinology, Nephrology and Rheumatology at the University Hospital Greifswald offers the full range of top-class medical care to patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, endocrine glands, and rheumatic pathologies. One of the key focuses of the department's work is the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers in cooperation with general and abdominal surgeons. In addition, the department has a high-tech Endoscopy Unit, where patients can undergo modern endoscopic examinations for suspected digestive pathologies and effective endoscopic treatment, which often allows patients to avoid open surgery. In the field of endocrinology, various endocrine disorders are treated. For patients with kidney diseases, the department has a modern Dialysis Unit, where all types of renal replacement therapy are available. Patients with rheumatic diseases most often receive outpatient care. The health of the department's patients is in the safe hands of highly professional doctors with long experience. The specialists make every effort to provide each patient with effective treatment in a pleasant environment. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Sylvia Stracke.
The work of the department's team of gastroenterologists and hepatologists focuses on diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures. In the Endoscopy Unit, patients can undergo many examinations to assess the internal surface of the gastrointestinal organs when the information obtained using imaging methods is not enough to make a diagnosis. The following endoscopic examinations are carried out in the department: videoendoscopy, chromoendoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, ileocolonoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, push enteroscopy, double balloon enteroscopy, rectoscopy, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. In addition, therapeutic procedures are successfully performed in the department's endoscopy rooms, including ligation and sclerotherapy for esophageal varices, stent implantation to eliminate esophageal and intestinal stenosis caused by benign and malignant tumors, arrest of gastrointestinal bleeding using clipping, injections, and fibrin glue, and also mucosectomy, polypectomy, argon plasma coagulation for stenosing or bleeding tumors, etc. All procedures are performed by highly qualified and experienced specialists, so patients trust their health to real professionals.
Endocrinology is represented by a separate team of doctors who are responsible for the diagnostics and treatment of endocrine disorders. The specialists treat pathologies of the thyroid gland and parathyroid glands, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, adrenal glands, and gonads. Patients with lipid, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism disorders can also get medical care here. Of particular interest is the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The basis of treatment for endocrine pathologies is the prescription of drugs, the action of which is aimed at stimulating or suppressing the synthesis of a particular hormone. The department's endocrinologists also often recommend reconsidering lifestyle and diet. Diabetes mellitus remains an incurable pathology, but the department's doctors use modern therapies to compensate for this pathology. The first-line treatment is oral hypoglycemic medications or insulin therapy (for type 1 diabetes mellitus). An integral part of the therapeutic process is a strict diet, the rejection of bad habits, and regular physical activity.
In the field of nephrology, the department diagnoses and treats the full range of kidney diseases and arterial hypertension. The doctors focus on patients with acute and chronic kidney failure, inflammatory processes in the kidneys, hereditary kidney diseases, renal osteodystrophy, and endogenous and exogenous intoxications. The specialists also prepare patients for kidney transplants and provide follow-up care after surgery. The department has a Dialysis Unit with advanced equipment for various types of renal replacement therapy, including hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, apheresis, acetate dialysis, hemoperfusion, plasmapheresis, and many others.
The department's therapeutic offer is complemented by the treatment of rheumatic diseases that cause damage to the joints, connective tissue, and internal organs. The most common diagnoses in the department's clinical practice include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, crystalline arthropathies (gout and pseudogout), spondyloarthropathies, collagenoses (for example, systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic scleroderma), myositis, and vasculitis. The department carries out all the examinations that are necessary to make an accurate diagnosis. These include laboratory tests, ultrasound scans, X-ray, CT, MRI, and scintigraphy. The treatment tactics are determined for each patient individually. In most cases, drug therapy with pills, therapeutic exercises, massage, and physiotherapy procedures are prescribed. In more complex clinical cases, the department's doctors resort to intra-articular injections.
