Medical Areas of Interest

Internal Medicine is a broad medical field responsible for 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.

Diabetes: A chronic metabolic disease characterized by blood sugar (glucose) levels above normal. Internal medicine specialists play a key role in managing different types of diabetes such as Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes, controlling blood sugar, and preventing long-term complications.
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 controlling stress response, blood pressure regulation, and 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 controls other endocrine glands and regulates essential processes like growth and reproduction. Pituitary adenomas (tumors) and other pituitary disorders can lead to hormonal imbalances.
Metabolic Diseases: This group includes conditions characterized by metabolic risk factors occurring together (abdominal obesity, hypertension, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol levels). Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

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

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

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Elevated blood pressure increasing risks of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
Heart Failure: Condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, swelling, and fatigue.
Coronary Artery Disease: Narrowing of the arteries supplying the heart, increasing heart attack risk.
High Cholesterol and Other Lipid Disorders: Abnormal levels of fats (cholesterol, triglycerides) in the blood, leading to artery blockage and heart disease.

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

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

Flu (Influenza): Respiratory infection causing fever, cough, and muscle aches.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Infections affecting kidneys, bladder, or urinary tract.
Hepatitis: Liver inflammation causing jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain.
Intestinal Infections: Cause digestive issues like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.

Anemia: Lack of sufficient healthy red blood cells causing fatigue and shortness of breath.
Bleeding and Clotting Disorders: Diseases affecting normal blood clotting and bleeding processes.
