Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Unit

The clinic diagnoses and treats patients suffering from osteoporosis, including treatment with bisphosphonates that were found useful in reducing the risk of fractures, and other pharmaceuticals.

The clinic focuses on endocrinal problems specific to men such as congenital and acquired dysfunction of the sex glands, Klinefelter's syndrome, prostate tumors, genetic and endocrinal reasons for fertility problems and osteoporosis in men. 

The pituitary gland is responsible for the secretion of hormones that regulate various hormonal systems in the body, including prolactin, sex hormones, cortisol, and growth hormone. A deficiency or excess of pituitary hormone secretion can lead to significant illness and even an increased risk of mortality. Growths in the pituitary gland pose a complex challenge in terms of diagnosis and treatment, which may involve medical or surgical intervention (neurosurgery). The Pituitary Clinic has been operating within the hospital since 2018, offering integrated care where patients are evaluated by specialized physicians in endocrinology and neurosurgery. This collaboration allows for a comprehensive assessment and personalized guidance for the patient. The clinic operates in coordination with the Neuro-Ophthalmology Unit and the Neuroimaging Unit (Neuroradiology) to provide a comprehensive and tailored approach to care.

Diagnosis and treatment of a variety of endocrine disorders, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, metabolic bone diseases, parathyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, thyroid disorders, and more.
