What we treat?

• Diabetes and Hypoglycemia

  Diabetes is characterised by an inability to secrete insulin which is needed by the body to convert glucose into energy. The three main types of diabetes – type 1, type 2 and gestational are all defined as metabolic disorders that affect the way the body metabolises or uses digested food to make glucose. Hypoglycemia is characterised by a low-level of blood sugar.

• Adrenal Disorders

  Adrenal glands are small, triangular shaped glands located on the top of both the kidneys that interact with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain. In an adrenal disorder, the adrenal glands produce too much or too little of these hormones.

  Addison's disease is a type of adrenal disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands produce insufficient amounts of hormones (cortisol and aldosterone). This condition arises when the outer layer (cortex) of the adrenal glands gets damaged. The disease can pose a threat to the patient’s life.

• Thyroid Disorders

  The thyroid gland is located in the neck just below the Adam’s apple and produces hormones that play a key role in regulating blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, metabolism and the reaction of the body to other hormones. Condition including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid adenomas and thyroid cancer can occur due to fluctuation in the amount of hormones released by the thyroid gland.

• Pituitary Disorders

  The pituitary gland is located just off the hypothalamus at the base of the brain. This gland regulates the functions of other glands, as well as growth and several body functions. Overactivity and underactivity of the pituitary gland can cause a range of conditions like acromegaly, empty sella syndrome and hypopituitarism.

• Metabolic Bone, Calcium and Parathyroid Disorders

  The parathyroid glands regulate the amount of calcium and phosphorous in the blood. Metabolic bone disorders are disorders of bone strength such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, Paget’s disease and parathyroid disorders. 

• Lipid Disorders

  Lipids or lipoproteins are the fats circulating in the bloodstream like low-density lipoproteins (LDL), high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and triglycerides. Lipid disorders can contribute to the formation of plaque buildup in your arteries which is linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

• Gonadal and Menstrual Disorders

  Males and females have different gonads; testes and ovaries respectively. Gonadal and menstrual disorders stem primarily from hormone dysfunctions, the ovaries and testes produce many of the same hormones, but in different amounts. Menstrual disorders can include abnormally early or late onset of puberty, very light periods, very heavy periods and irregular or absent periods. They can also affect ovulation, including increasing the risk of ovarian cyst development, problems during pregnancy and the early onset of menopause.
