The Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Endocrinology and Infectology at the University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich offers prevention, diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, endocrine glands and infectious pathologies. The department's specialists have unique experience in the treatment of malignant diseases of the digestive system. In addition, the department's gastroenterologists successfully perform the full range of modern endoscopic procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The department is annually visited by about 15,000 outpatients and more than 5,000 inpatients. The patients' health is in the safe hands of a large medical team consisting of 60 specialized doctors and more than 190 nursing and administrative staff. The specialists of the medical facility strive to provide each patient with the most effective treatment using the very latest and the most reliable therapeutic methods. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Roland Schmid.
The department's gastroenterologists carry out comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of benign and malignant gastrointestinal pathologies. As a rule, the patients with diseases of this spectrum receive medical care on an outpatient basis. The most common benign pathologies treated in the department include gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, intestinal and esophageal motility disorders, celiac disease and others. At the same time, doctors pay due attention to the patients with suspected cancer of the digestive system. The specialists in this field conduct the full range of diagnostic tests to confirm or exclude cancer diagnosis, prescribe drug therapy for malignant tumors, and also carry out control examinations to assess the results of the therapeutic measures performed. Doctors cooperate closely with oncologists, radiation therapists, surgeons, thereby guaranteeing patients comprehensive medical care.
An equally important area of work of the department's doctors is the diagnostics and treatment of liver diseases. The focus of doctors specializing in these pathologies is on the patients with chronic viral and inflammatory liver diseases, metabolic and autoimmune pathologies of the liver and biliary tract, as well as cirrhosis. In most cases, drug therapy is indicated to such patients. It is prescribed based on the specific clinical case.
The department is quite often visited by patients with endocrine disorders: pathologies of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and hypothalamus, testicles and ovaries. In addition, the team of the department's doctors specializes in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (types 1 and 2, gestational diabetes mellitus), hyperlipidemia, bone metabolism disorders and neuroendocrine tumors. The specialists of the medical facility carry out drug therapy of the above mentioned pathologies, and if necessary, endocrine surgeons are involved in the therapeutic process. The patients with diabetes mellitus receive pharmacotherapy with hypoglycemic drugs, insulin therapy, including with the use of an insulin pump.
The range of services provided in the department is complemented by therapy for infectious diseases, including HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, echinococcosis, hepatitis B and C, tropical infections, and other infectious diseases. The department conducts all laboratory tests required for making an accurate diagnosis, after which doctors prescribe the optimal course of treatment.
The department's main clinical focuses include:
- Gastroenterology: diagnostics, conservative therapy and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases, including oncopathology
- Hepatology: diagnostics and treatment of chronic viral hepatitis, metabolic and autoimmune diseases of the liver and biliary tract, cirrhosis
- Endocrinology: diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, gonads (ovaries and testicles), as well as lipid metabolism disorders, bone metabolism disorders, rare neuroendocrine tumors, type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus, pancreatic diseases, metabolic syndrome
