About the department
The Department of Nephrology, Rheumatology and Endocrinology at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) offers a full range of medical services in the areas of its competence. The department provides qualified medical care for patients with kidney diseases, arterial hypertension, rheumatic diseases, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal pathologies. Special attention is paid to the treatment of kidney damage due to arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, acute and chronic kidney pathologies, rheumatic diseases, including collagenosis, thyroid diseases, and diabetes mellitus. The specialists of the department are also competent in the preparation of patients for kidney transplantation and subsequent postoperative monitoring. It should be noted that the department is part of the Transplant Center, which was established in 1974 and performs more than 50 kidney transplants annually. The department's therapeutic options include drug therapy, renal replacement therapy (dialysis), plasmapheresis, immunophoresis, and other procedures. Patients receive medical care on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. The department's team of doctors is justifiably proud of its excellent treatment success rates. The medical facility is certified according to the standards of the German Society of Nephrology (DGN). The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Matthias Girndt.
Nephrology is one of the priority areas of work of the medical team of the department. The healthcare facility provides inpatient and outpatient medical care for patients with glomerulonephritis, kidney lesions due to arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, kidney damage due to autoimmune diseases, infectious kidney diseases, and hereditary kidney diseases. In addition, the department's doctors have extensive clinical experience in the treatment of patients with systemic vasculitis and cardiorenal syndrome, a pathological condition characterized by a combined kidney and heart failure. Patients with nephrological diseases have access to advanced diagnostic rooms with the ability to perform classical ultrasound scans and duplex sonography of the kidneys. The full range of laboratory diagnostics is also available here. When kidney cancer is suspected, the specialists of the department perform a biopsy followed by a histological examination. As for the treatment, the department uses various therapeutic methods, ranging from drug therapy to renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, and peritoneal dialysis), plasmapheresis, immunophoresis, and radiofrequency ablation of the renal sympathetic nerves (renal denervation) for severe forms of arterial hypertension. Treatment tactics are planned based on the patient's diagnostic data and individual needs.
The department also has a highly professional team of rheumatologists who are responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis, collagenosis, vasculitis, and rare rheumatic diseases. Orthopedists, neurologists, dermatologists, and other specialists are involved in the therapeutic process for comprehensive treatment of rheumatism. Arthritis is treated with pharmacotherapy using various groups of drugs, exercise therapy, physiotherapy, massage, and other methods. The specialists of the department treat collagenosis with drug therapy using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoids, cytostatics, and other drugs, physiotherapy, exercise therapy, and plasmapheresis. The first-line treatment for vasculitis is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and symptomatic therapy; in complex clinical cases, plasmapheresis may be required.
The department's therapeutic offer is complemented by the treatment of endocrine diseases, with a special emphasis on medical care for patients with diseases of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland. The department's team of endocrinologists also specializes in the treatment of all types of diabetes mellitus, including gestational diabetes and MODY. Depending on the type of diabetes mellitus, insulin therapy, drug therapy with oral hypoglycemic drugs, diet therapy, and physical exercise may be prescribed to compensate for it. The department also treats patients with insulin resistance and diabetic foot syndrome.
