Endocrinology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the endocrine system: thyroid disorders, pituitary, adrenal, gonadal and disorders of calcium metabolism (osteoporosis, osteomalacia).
Endocrine pathology is complex, and the diagnosis requires specific analyses (hormonal dosing, imaging investigations).
Hormonal disorders cause changes in other devices and systems (nerve, cardiovascular, bone, muscular), and early diagnosis is imperative in preventing serious or medium severity repercussions.
