Diagnostic methods
During the consultation, the doctor assesses the patient's complaints, collects an anamnesis, and conducts an initial examination.
Methods are selected individually. Some tests are performed directly at K+31 clinics, including in our own laboratory.
Based on the results, an individual diagnostic plan is developed, which may include:
- Laboratory tests - blood, urine and saliva tests for hormones and metabolic markers
- Ultrasound of the thyroid and parathyroid glands
- MRI of the pituitary gland - if pituitary tumors are suspected
- MSCT of the adrenal glands - for the assessment of space-occupying lesions and functional disorders
- Bone densitometry (DXA) – determination of bone mineral density in osteoporosis
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for thyroid nodules
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) – for accurate assessment of carbohydrate metabolism
- Bioimpedance analysis of body composition for weight management
- Functional tests - overnight suppression test with dexamethasone, prolonged fasting test and others
- Scintigraphy is a radioisotope scan of the thyroid gland.
- Interpretation of laboratory test results
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules (FNAB)
- Installation of a continuous glucose monitoring sensor
- Ultrasound of the thyroid and parathyroid glands
- MSCT of the adrenal glands
- Densitometry of the femur, radius, and lumbar spine
- MRI of the pituitary gland
- Study of distal diabetic polyneuropathy
- Assessment of the risk of diabetic foot
- Training in injection techniques
- Subcutaneous administration of drugs under physician supervision (Semaglutide/Tirzepatide)
- Information counseling on endocrine pathologies
- Correction Weight
- Snoring Treatment
- Second Opinion
- Endocrinologist Home Visit
- Endocrinology Consultation (participation of several endocrinologists in the treatment of complex cases of comorbid conditions)
- Autoimmune thyroiditis
- Primary hypothyroidism
- Thyrotoxicosis (Graves' disease)
- Subacute thyroiditis
- Gestational diabetes
- Type 1 and 2 diabetes
- Diabetic foot
- Metabolic syndrome, obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Menstrual irregularities. Menopause
- Prolactinoma
- Pituitary tumors
- Adrenal tumors
- Thyroid nodules (goiters)
- Vitamin D deficiency
- Correction of micro- and macronutrient deficiencies
- Functional tests to rule out cortisol secretion disorders
If you've been prescribed injectable medications for weight loss or diabetes management—glucagon-like peptide type 1 or GLP-1 agonists (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide)—our endocrinologists will teach you self-administration techniques right during your appointment. Your first injection will be administered under the doctor's supervision: this will help avoid errors and alleviate anxiety before starting therapy. You'll leave with clear instructions and confidence in your actions.

To ensure accurate screening and timely detection of osteoporosis, K+31 has developed a comprehensive examination program. Each test is selected based on clinical logic—the result is not a collection of disparate indicators, but a systematic assessment of your bone tissue condition and a personalized treatment plan.
Excess weight is rarely just excess weight—it has a specific metabolic cause. The Slim and Mega Slim programs at K+31 include all the necessary tests to accurately determine this and prescribe a personalized weight-loss strategy—no guesswork or one-size-fits-all diets.

Answers to frequently asked questions
What does an endocrinologist treat?
An endocrinologist is a physician who diagnoses and treats diseases of organs and systems affected by excess or deficiency of hormones in the body. The most common endocrine pathologies are diabetes, thyroid disease, thyroid nodules, and obesity.
When should you see an endocrinologist?
- Weight change
- Persistent weakness, drowsiness, or, conversely, nervousness, tremors in the body
- Irregular/sensation of heartbeat
- Discomfort in the throat in the absence of acute respiratory viral infection symptoms, a "lump" sensation in the throat, choking
- Hair loss, changes in skin color or texture, increased sweating
- Thirst or frequent urination
- Menstrual irregularities, decreased libido
- High blood pressure at a young age or difficulty managing blood pressure on antihypertensive therapy
- Fractures that occurred "accidentally," without significant trauma, or frequent fractures
- For children, important endocrinological features also include: impaired growth rate and development, early puberty, or, conversely, no puberty.
Caution! None of the symptoms listed can be considered direct evidence of endocrine pathology. Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after conducting diagnostic tests. It is especially important for people with close relatives suffering from endocrine diseases to consult a medical center.
What should I take with me to my appointment with an endocrinologist?
If you are seeing an endocrinologist for the first time and have not previously been diagnosed with endocrine disorders, you do not need to do any special preparation.
If you have previously seen an endocrinologist, bring all previous tests and specialist consultations.
Required: a list of all medications you are taking with dosages (or photos of the packaging).
For a nutritionist: a food diary for several days.
What diagnostic and treatment methods are available in endocrinology?
During the consultation, the doctor assesses the patient's complaints, collects an anamnesis, and conducts an initial examination. Based on the data obtained, the doctor develops the necessary set of examinations, which may include:
- Laboratory tests of blood, urine, or saliva
- Imaging studies: ultrasound, MRI, CT, densitometry, bioimpedance analysis, scintigraphy (radioisotope scanning), fine-needle aspiration biopsy
The endocrinologist's diagnostic arsenal also includes methods such as functional tests to determine the "function" of a specific organ or hormone (for example, an overnight suppression test or a prolonged fasting test) and the use of continuous blood glucose monitoring.
Diagnostic and treatment methods depend on the nature of the disorder and are selected strictly on an individual basis. Our medical center's endocrinology department is staffed by highly qualified specialists with extensive practical experience. The doctor will develop an effective and safe treatment plan, based on high-precision research.
Remember, it's impossible to independently identify endocrine gland dysfunction. Do not self-medicate—it's dangerous! At the slightest suspicion of a problem, consult an endocrinologist. You can schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist in Moscow by phone or on the medical center's website. An online consultation is available for out-of-towners.
