Diabetes and Endocrinology

Centre for Diabetes Care in Ghaziabad


The human body is complex. From large organs to chemicals like hormones, all work together to regulate the body's functions. It is thus necessary to care for every aspect of the human body. The Endocrine system is responsible for the secretion and control of hormones. Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that deals with different aspects of Endocrine glands, their secretions and hormones. The doctors who focus on disorders associated with the endocrine glands and hormones are called Endocrinologists. Hormones are the chemical substances responsible for regulating growth, mood, sleep, temperature and stress, among other things.

Treatment & Procedures

Endocrine Therapy

This is a treatment done to add, block or remove hormones in the body.

TREATMENTS AND PROCEDURES

The Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology at Manipal Hospitals offers a complete spectrum of treatments for Diabetes, Thyroid disorders, Cushing Syndrome, infertility and sex-related disorders and paediatric growth disorders. Our facilities match the best in the world, which is why we have patients coming to us from around the globe to get their treatments.

  • ENDOCRINE THERAPY

Endocrine therapy involves adding, blocking or removing hormones in the body. 

Based on the nature of the hormonal disorder, the Endocrinologist at the Centre for diabetes care suggests medications or treatments that regulate the level of single or multiple hormones in the body. For example, hormones are added to the body to adjust low hormone levels in conditions like Diabetes and Menopause.

  • CUSHING SYNDROME

Cushing syndrome is also called Hypercortisolism. 

It is a disorder that results from exposure to excessive amounts of cortisol for a long time. It occurs due to the use of steroid drugs or from the overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands.

Endocrinologists recommend the following diagnosis and treatments for Cushing Syndrome.

  • Urine and blood tests

  • Saliva tests

  • Surgery

  • Imaging tests like CT scans or MRI scans

  • Radiation therapy

  • DIABETES

Diabetes or Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that occurs if the pancreas produces less than the ideal amount of insulin or if the body loses the efficiency to use the insulin properly.  Diabetes is not curable. However, with diet, physical activity, medication and regular screening, one can manage the complications of the disease.

  • Diet Management: Our healthcare team encompasses dietician and diabetic educator who provide nutritional advice and tips to manage health conditions to avoid further complications.

  • Diabetic Eye Screening: Diabetes can cause blindness and affect the eyes. High blood sugar damages the blood vessels in the eyes. It results in Diabetic Retinopathy, including blurred vision, detachment and Glaucoma. Endocrinologists at Manipal Hospitals offer treatments for Retinopathy that includes: 

  • Laser Photocoagulation: It is a laser surgery in which the doctors make painless, tiny retinal burns to seal the damaged blood vessels and reduce the inflammation.

  • Vitrectomy Surgery: This laser surgery involves removing vitreous fluid and replacing it with a substitute fluid. The vitreous fluid is gel-like and fills the middle part of the eye.

  • Fundus Screening: Using the fundus camera, the doctors take images of the interior surface of the eye, including the optic disc, macula, retina, retinal vasculature and posterior pole.

  • Diabetic Retina Screening: This examination helps detect the early signs of vision loss associated with diabetes. The doctors use digital photography to check for changes in the retina's blood vessels. 

  • DIABETIC FOOT AND ANKLE EXAM

Diabetes may cause nerve damage in patients. It can result in foot injuries, calluses, blisters, ulcers, infections, cuts, wounds and deep sores. Endocrinologists work with Podiatrists to screen and treat diabetic feet. The course of treatments includes:

  • Dermatological Assessment: Doctors assess skin, toenails and the area between the toes for dryness, cracks, fungal infection and blisters.

  • Neurologic assessment: The doctors conduct the following tests.

  • Monofilament Test: This test checks the foot's sensitivity to touch. The doctors brush a soft nylon fibre called a monofilament over the patient's foot and toes to test sensitivity.

  • Tuning Fork Tests: This test assesses vibration sensitivity. Tuning forks are put against the foot and toes to check the foot's sensitivity to vibration.

  • Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT): It identifies diabetic patients at risk of ulceration. It detects large-fibre dysfunction.

  • Pinprick Test: Doctors poke the bottom of the foot with a small pin to check the foot's sensitivity to pain.

  • Ankle Reflexes: Doctors tap on the foot with a small mallet to check the ankle's reflex sensitivity.

  • Musculoskeletal Assessment: This test helps check abnormalities in the shape and structure of the foot.

  • Vascular Assessment: Doctors recommend this if the patient has symptoms of poor circulation. It involves Doppler Ultrasound and Brachial Index (ABI) Test to see blood flow in the foot.

  • THYROID DISORDERS

To assess thyroid in patients, Endocrinologists suggest the following diagnostic tests and treatments.

  • Thyroid Screening

Radioactive Iodine Uptake Test (RAIU) or Thyroid Uptake: RAIU tests thyroid function. It measures the amount of radioactive iodine taken by the thyroid gland over time.

  • DOTANOC FDA PET Scan: This scan uses Ga-68-DOTATOC radioactive drug. It helps detect somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).

  • Advanced Robotic Surgery for Thyroid Nodules (Parathyroid adenoma): It is a minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery. It involves the removal of part or whole of the thyroid gland.

  • Thyroid Cancers: Doctors diagnose thyroid cancer by conducting the following tests:

  • Blood Tests

  • Physical Examination

  • Ultrasound Imaging

  • Biopsy

  • Genetic Testing

  • Thyroid Hormone Therapy

It involves using artificial thyroid hormones to increase the low levels of natural thyroid hormones in the body. The patient takes the thyroid hormone in pill form.

  • Surgery

  • Thyroidectomy: It is a surgery for removing the thyroid gland. Doctors recommend it if the patient has thyroid cancer or other thyroid gland disorders like goitre. It may involve:

  • Total Thyroidectomy: A surgery that completely removes the thyroid tissue.

  • Near-Total Thyroidectomy: It is the removal of most of the thyroid tissue.

  • Thyroid Lobectomy: It is the removal of half of the thyroid lobes. Doctors recommend it to treat hyperthyroidism or to remove cancerous nodules.

  • Lymph Node Dissection: This procedure is also called lymphadenectomy. It involves the dissection of the lymph nodes to check for malignancy.  

  • PAEDIATRIC GROWTH DISORDERS

Growth disorders in children affect the development of weight, height, puberty and other features. 

Growth disorders may involve very slow or very fast growth. It signals a problem with the pituitary gland responsible for making the growth hormone.

Doctors diagnose and treat growth disorders by recommending the following tests:

  • Blood Tests

  • X-Rays

  • MRI

  • Growth Hormone Injections

  • Hormone Therapy

  • Surgery

 

  • INFERTILITY AND SEX-RELATED DISORDERS

Infertility is a condition that results in a woman not getting pregnant, even after having timed unprotected sex for more than six months. 

Sex-related disorders can occur in both males and females. As a result, problems related to sexual response and conception may occur.

  • In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF): It involves artificially fertilising the mature eggs in a suitable environment before placing them in the uterus. 

  • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injections: The doctor injects a single sperm into the centre of the egg and facilitates conception. It uses a micropipette (a tiny needle). 

  • Laser-Assisted Hatching: It uses an anodyne laser to help the embryo "hatch" or penetrate through its protective outer layer or "shell".

  • Blastocyst Culture And Transfer: The embryo is developed in a suitable lab environment for 4 to 6 days before transferring to the womb.

  • Cryopreservation involves preserving eggs, embryos, and sperm at sub-zero temperatures for future use.

Intersex conditions: 

Intersex is mixing the internal and external features of a male or female. 

Doctors correct it using.

  • Masculinising Surgery: It is also called gender-affirming surgery. It involves, 

  • Removal of breasts
