Care for Endocrine Disorders
Your endocrinology care at NKCH & MH combines advanced technology with compassionate, nationally acclaimed endocrinologists. We work with you to diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances. These imbalances can cause endocrine disorders, such as:
- Bone disease – A drop in estrogen (for women) and testosterone (for men) from aging that leads to bone loss and osteoporosis. Be proactive with bone density scans that detect bone loss and other bone disorders.
- Diabetes – A condition that affects how your body makes or uses insulin. Examples include Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes. Work with endocrinologists and certified diabetes educators to manage diabetes in ways that improve your health and safety.
- Endocrine tumors – When a genetic mutation causes abnormal endocrine cells to grow into non-cancerous or cancerous tumors. Learn how our endocrinologists and cancer experts partner to offer cancer care for those who need it.
- Fertility and reproductive disorders – Disorders of the reproductive system, including endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. Sometimes, a hormone imbalance from these disorders affects fertility in men and women. Get support from a reproductive endocrinologist.
- Growth disorders – Hormone imbalances that can cause short stature or other growth issues that begin in childhood. Access a full range of testing to get proper treatment.
- High blood pressure (hypertension) – A common but serious condition that can cause blindness, kidney failure, heart attack or stroke. Find treatment for endocrine hypertension caused by hormone imbalances.
- High cholesterol and lipid disorders – When too much cholesterol (fat) causes life-threatening conditions, such as heart attack or stroke. Discover if endocrine disorders are the cause.
- Metabolic disorders and obesity – Endocrine issues that lead to unhealthy weight gain or loss. Work with an endocrinologist to create a customized plan to improve your health.
- Pituitary and adrenal disorders – When the pituitary or adrenal gland makes too much or not enough hormones and requires special treatment. Examples include Addison’s disease and Cushing’s syndrome. Get tests to diagnose and treat your condition.
- Thyroid disorders, including thyroid cancer – When the thyroid gland malfunctions, making it hard to control weight, emotions and energy levels. Have a thyroid ultrasound and fine needle aspiration to help with diagnosis.
