Expertise profile - what organs and conditions do we treat
The Endocrinology Department at K+31 provides expert diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases and related disorders:
Thyroid Gland. Hormone production disorders (hypo- and hyperthyroidism), thyroid nodules, autoimmune disorders, and thyroiditis.
Parathyroid Glands. Primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, and calcium-phosphorus metabolism disorders.
Pituitary Gland. Pituitary Hormone production disorders, pituitary tumors (prolactinoma, somatotropinoma, corticotropinoma).
Adrenal Glands. Disorders of adrenal hormone production (Cushing's syndrome, primary hyperaldosteronism, adrenal insufficiency), adrenal tumors.
Pancreas. Diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2, monogenic forms, LADA diabetes, diabetes after pancreatic surgery. Diagnosis of non-diabetic conditions with decreased glucose (insulinoma, dumping syndrome).
Sex hormones and reproductive function. Decreased testosterone in men, gynecomastia, hyperandrogenism in women, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, congenital adrenal cortex dysfunction.
Bone metabolism disorders. Osteoporosis, osteomalacia, calcium-phosphorus metabolism disorders.
Weight-related diseases. Drug and non-drug treatment of obesity, patient management before and after bariatric surgery, correction of underweight.
Endocrine disorders during cancer treatment. Endocrine dysfunction associated with immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and long-term glucocorticoid therapy.
Rare endocrine disorders. Multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1 and 2, autoimmune polyglandular syndromes, congenital and acquired hypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus.
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.

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?
Reasons to see an endocrinologist include:
- Weight change (gain or loss) without an obvious cause
- Persistent weakness, drowsiness, or, conversely, nervousness, tremors in the body
- Irregular or sensation of heartbeat
- Discomfort in the throat, a "lump" sensation, choking in the absence of acute respiratory viral infection symptoms
- Hair loss, changes in skin color or texture, increased sweating
- Thirst or frequent urination
- Irregular menstruation, decreased libido
- High blood pressure at a young age or difficulty controlling blood pressure during therapy
- "Accidental" fractures without significant trauma, frequent fractures
- In children: impaired Growth and developmental delays, early or delayed puberty.
Caution! None of the listed symptoms are direct evidence of endocrine pathology. Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis based on diagnostic tests.
It is especially important for people whose close relatives suffer from endocrine diseases to see an endocrinologist.
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.
How does an endocrinologist conduct diagnostics?
During the consultation, the doctor assesses the patient's complaints, collects a medical history, and conducts an examination. Based on the results, an examination plan is developed, which may include laboratory blood and urine tests, ultrasound, MRI, CT, densitometry, bioimpedance analysis, functional tests, and continuous glucose monitoring. Diagnostic and treatment methods are selected strictly on an individual basis. Do not self-medicate—it is impossible to independently identify endocrine gland dysfunction.
