About the Department

   Therapy Department №1, which includes endocrinology and pulmonology, provides a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic services within the therapeutic profile, including inpatient care and consultations with specialized physicians.

   The department manages diseases of the respiratory system (asthma, COPD, pneumonia) and the endocrine (hormonal) system. These areas often intersect, for example, hormone influence on lung function. The department offers comprehensive diagnostics (spirometry, CT, EndoUS, hormone tests) and modern treatment methods to improve the quality of life for patients with chronic conditions, including follow-up and rehabilitation.

   Endocrinology manages patients with conditions such as:

• Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus;
• Diffuse toxic goiter;
• Hypothyroidism;
• Nodular goiter;
• Obesity;
• Prediabetes;
• Diabetes insipidus;
• Hypoparathyroidism;
• Hyperparathyroidism.

   Diagnostic methods used in endocrinology include:

• Laboratory diagnostics of hormone levels;
• Thyroid ultrasound with elastography;
• Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid;
• MRI and CT for hypothalamic-pituitary assessment.

   Timely treatment, dynamic monitoring, and preventive measures are essential. The department provides individual diabetes education programs, osteoporosis prevention, and dietary guidance for each patient.

   Pulmonology focuses on conditions including:

1. Pneumonia;
2. Bronchial asthma;
3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD);
4. Interstitial lung diseases;
5. Unclear lung lesions and fibrosis;
6. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS);
7. Unexplained cough and shortness of breath.

   Diagnostic methods in pulmonology include:

• X-ray imaging;
• Computed tomography (CT);
• Spirometry;
• Bronchoscopy;
• Ultrasound diagnostics;
• Sleep respiratory monitoring;
• Laboratory diagnostics;
• CPAP therapy and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for patients with COPD, OSAS, or obesity-hypoventilation syndrome.

   Treatment plans offered by the department include:

• Medication therapy;
• Physiotherapy;
• Rehabilitation programs for respiratory function recovery;
• CPAP and BiPAP therapy according to modern international guidelines, with consultations from specialized physicians when necessary.

   The department emphasizes personalized care, considering each patient’s medical history, age, and comorbidities. A comfortable and supportive environment is provided, prioritizing both patient well-being and health.
