About the department
The Department of Nephrology, Rheumatology and Endocrinology at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf offers a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in its areas of specialization. The department's team of nephrologists treats acute and chronic kidney failure, glomerulonephritis, urolithiasis, pyelonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and arterial hypertension. Patients before and after kidney transplantation can also receive comprehensive care here. The department is the largest and one of the best Rheumatology Centers in Northern Germany, where patients with arthritis, collagenosis, vasculitis, gout, Bechterew's disease, fibromyalgia, and other pathologies can receive qualified medical care. Treatment of thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and pituitary gland diseases, diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2, morbid obesity, and lipid metabolism disorders completes the therapeutic possibilities of the department. All treatment activities are performed in accordance with current clinical protocols, which helps to achieve the best result. The patients of the department are served by highly competent specialists with extensive clinical experience, for whom the priority is to provide effective treatment taking into account the individual needs of each patient. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Tobias Huber.
The department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of the entire spectrum of kidney diseases. The medical facility provides medical care to patients with acute and chronic kidney failure, glomerulonephritis, urolithiasis, pyelonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis, arterial hypertension, and other kidney conditions. Upon admission to the department, the patient receives an individual consultation and referral for an examination. The standard diagnostic protocol for suspected nephrological disease includes extensive laboratory testing and ultrasound scans; magnetic resonance imaging and kidney biopsy are also often performed. Once a diagnosis has been made, the physician develops the most effective treatment plan for the patient. In most cases, drug therapy is sufficient to normalize kidney function. However, in complex clinical situations, medication is only one part of a comprehensive therapeutic regimen, and renal replacement therapy comes to the fore. The department has a well-equipped dialysis unit, where more than 12,000 dialysis procedures and extracorporeal blood purification procedures are performed each year. The specialists of the dialysis unit successfully perform hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, dialysis using the GENIUS system, peritoneal dialysis, lipid apheresis, plasmapheresis, and immunoadsorption. The therapeutic offer in the field of nephrology is complemented by high-quality medical care for patients before and after kidney transplant surgery in accordance with international medical standards.
The department's rheumatologists have exceptional expertise in the treatment of systemic and local connective tissue lesions. Special attention is given to the treatment of inflammatory joint disease, namely arthritis. Patients with all types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, oligoarthritis, reactive arthritis, and enteropathic arthritis can receive medical care here. The specialists of the healthcare facility regularly treat patients with collagenoses (Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, mixed forms of collagenosis, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis) and vasculitides (polymyalgia rheumatica, Takayasu's arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, and microscopic vasculitis). Rheumatic diseases cause many serious symptoms, the most common of which are pain and swelling of the affected joint, joint stiffness (especially in the morning), limited mobility, and increased fatigue. Diagnosis includes a general clinical examination, analysis of the patient's medical history, a series of laboratory tests (a rheumatoid factor test, inflammatory markers, antibody tests, etc.), and imaging studies (X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and MRI). First-line treatment is drug therapy with corticosteroids, biologics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and other pain relievers. In addition to medication, therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy procedures, occupational therapy, cryotherapy, heat therapy, massage, and other therapeutic measures are recommended. In case of a complex course of rheumatism, the patient may require surgical treatment.
Treatment of endocrine disorders is an integral part of the clinical practice of the department. Patients with pathologies of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands are the main focus of attention. In addition, almost daily the specialists consult patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2, perform insulin therapy and treatment with oral hypoglycemic agents. The endocrinologists of the department are also competent in the treatment of morbid obesity. Patients who have tried many diets and exercise programs without success usually come to the department. The role of the department's specialists is to identify the cause of weight gain and develop a comprehensive obesity treatment plan. Experienced endocrinologists, nutritionists, psychologists, and other experts work with the patient. Doctors make individualized recommendations for proper nutrition, prescribe comprehensive drug treatment, and conduct behavioral therapy. The department is one of the leading medical centers in Germany specializing in the treatment of morbid obesity using the endoscopic procedure for intragastric balloon placement in patients with a body mass index of 40 kg/m² and above. The extensive experience gained here in successfully performing such procedures allows physicians to effectively help patients with complex cases.
