Internal Medicine is a broad medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a wide variety of diseases seen in adults that can be treated with non-surgical methods. Physicians specialized in this field (internists) play an important role in the evaluation and management of complex health problems affecting multiple organ systems.

Endocrine System Diseases
Diabetes Mellitus: A chronic metabolic disease characterized by blood sugar (glucose) levels above normal. Internal medicine specialists play a crucial role in managing different types of diabetes such as Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes, controlling blood sugar, and preventing long-term complications of diabetes.
Thyroid Diseases: The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. Thyroid diseases such as goiter (enlargement of the thyroid gland), hyperthyroidism (excess hormone production), and hypothyroidism (insufficient hormone production) can significantly affect body functions.
Adrenal (Suprarenal) Gland Diseases: The adrenal glands secrete hormones that control stress response, blood pressure regulation, and many other important functions. Diseases of these glands (e.g., Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease) can cause hormonal imbalances and various symptoms.
Pituitary Gland Diseases: Located in the brain, the pituitary gland secretes hormones that control the functions of other endocrine glands and regulate essential processes such as growth and reproduction. Pituitary adenomas (tumors in the pituitary gland) and other pituitary diseases can cause hormonal imbalances.
Metabolic Diseases: This group includes conditions characterized by metabolic risk factors occurring together, such as metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity, hypertension, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol levels). Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Digestive System Diseases
Gastritis and Ulcers: Inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis) and ulcers in the stomach or duodenum are common digestive system problems causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, indigestion, and bleeding.
Reflux: The backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus (reflux) can cause complaints like heartburn, sour taste, and belching.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, bleeding, and weight loss.
Liver Diseases: Liver diseases such as hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), cirrhosis (liver damage), and fatty liver disease can affect vital body functions.
Pancreatic Diseases: The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and hormones regulating blood sugar. Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) can cause severe abdominal pain.

Respiratory System Diseases
Pneumonia: Inflammation of the lungs causing cough, fever, and shortness of breath.
Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchi (tubes carrying air to the lungs), characterized by cough and sputum production.
Asthma: A chronic inflammatory disease characterized by narrowing of the airways.
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): A progressive disease that obstructs airflow in the lungs, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Cardiovascular System Diseases
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Blood pressure above normal increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
Heart Failure: The condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs, causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, edema, and fatigue.
Coronary Artery Disease: Narrowing of the arteries supplying the heart (coronary arteries) increases the risk of heart attack.
High Cholesterol and Other Lipid Disorders: Abnormal levels of fats (cholesterol, triglycerides) in the blood can lead to artery blockage and heart disease.

Kidney Diseases
Acute and Chronic Kidney Failure: The sudden (acute) or gradual (chronic) loss of the kidney’s filtering function.
Kidney Infections (Pyelonephritis): Inflammation of the kidneys causing back pain, fever, and chills.

Rheumatologic Diseases
Rheumatoid Arthritis: A chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation.
Lupus (SLE): An autoimmune disease characterized by the body attacking its own tissues.
Behçet’s Disease: Characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, eye inflammation, and skin lesions.

Infectious Diseases
Influenza (Flu): A respiratory tract infection causing fever, cough, and muscle aches.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Infections affecting the kidneys, bladder, or urinary tract.
Hepatitis: Liver inflammation causing jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain.
Intestinal Infections: Cause digestive system symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.

Blood Diseases
Anemia: A condition characterized by insufficient healthy red blood cells in the blood, leading to fatigue and shortness of breath.
Bleeding and Clotting Disorders: Diseases that affect the normal processes of bleeding and blood clotting.
