:::

The Department of Metabolism and Endocrinology can be divided into two primary categories:

1. Endocrine Disorders

This includes the following areas:

2. Metabolic Diseases

These include:

Nutritional Disorders: Including obesity, malnutrition, and vitamin deficiencies.
Carbohydrate metabolism disorders: Such as diabetes and glycogen storage diseases, which can significantly impact an individual’s health.
Lipid metabolism disorders: Such as dyslipidemia.
Amino acid metabolism disorders: Such as phenylketonuria and histidinemia, genetic conditions affecting the body’s ability to process specific amino acids.
Calcium and Mineral Metabolism Disorders: Conditions such as rickets and osteoporosis.
Other genetic metabolic diseases: Including disorders of nucleic acid metabolism and mucopolysaccharidosis syndromes.

Endocrine Diseases: Hypothalamic Endocrinology, Pituitary Gland Disorders, Thyroid Disorders, Parathyroid Disorders, Pancreatic Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Disorders of the Adrenal Cortex and Medulla.
Metabolic Diseases: Nutritional Disorders (such as obesity, malnutrition, and vitamin deficiencies), Carbohydrate Metabolism Disorders (including diabetes and glycogen storage diseases), Lipid Metabolism Disorders (such as dyslipidemia), and other related conditions.
