Medical Areas of Interest

Internal Medicine is a broad medical specialty responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a wide variety of diseases in adults that can be managed with non-surgical methods. Physicians specialized in this field (internists) play a significant role in evaluating and managing complex health issues affecting multiple organ systems.

 

  • Diabetes Mellitus: A chronic metabolic disease characterized by blood sugar (glucose) levels that remain above normal. Internal medicine specialists play a crucial role in managing different types of diabetes such as Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes, controlling blood sugar levels, and preventing long-term complications of diabetes.
  • Thyroid Diseases: The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolic rate. 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 regulate stress response, blood pressure, and many other vital 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 the function of other endocrine glands and secretes hormones that regulate essential processes like growth and reproduction. Pituitary adenomas (tumors in the pituitary gland) and other pituitary disorders can lead to hormonal imbalances.
  • Metabolic Diseases: This group includes conditions characterized by clustered metabolic risk factors such as abdominal obesity, hypertension, high blood sugar, and 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 symptoms like abdominal pain, indigestion, and bleeding.
  • Reflux: The backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus (reflux) causes symptoms such as heartburn, sour taste, and belching.
  • Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Chronic inflammatory diseases of the intestines such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis present with abdominal pain, diarrhea, bleeding, and weight loss.
  • Liver Diseases: Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), cirrhosis (liver damage), and fatty liver disease 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.

  • Pneumonia: Inflammation of the lungs causing cough, fever, and shortness of breath.
  • Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchi (air passages 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 that obstructs airflow in the lungs, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Elevated blood pressure increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
  • Heart Failure: The condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, swelling, and fatigue.
  • Coronary Artery Disease: Narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, increasing the risk of heart attack.
  • High Cholesterol and Other Lipid Disorders: Abnormal levels of fats (cholesterol, triglycerides) in the blood that contribute to arterial blockage and heart disease.

  • Acute and Chronic Kidney Failure: The sudden (acute) or gradual (chronic) loss of the kidneys’ filtering ability.
  • 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 oral and genital ulcers, eye inflammation, and skin lesions.

  • Influenza (Flu): A respiratory infection causing fever, cough, and muscle aches.
  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): Infections affecting the kidneys, bladder, or urinary tract.
  • Hepatitis: Inflammation of the liver causing jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain.
  • Intestinal Infections: Cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.

  • Anemia: A condition where there are not enough healthy red blood cells, causing fatigue and shortness of breath.
  • Bleeding and Clotting Disorders: Diseases affecting the normal process of blood clotting and bleeding.
