Endocrinology
Prime HealthCare Endocrinology is a group of physicians and nurse practitioners who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to hormones. Endocrinology covers such human functions as the coordination of metabolism, respiration, reproduction, sensory perception, and movement. Endocrinology also focuses on the endocrine glands and tissues that secrete hormones.
An endocrinologist diagnoses and treats hormone problems by attempting to restore hormone balance within the body's system. The following diseases or disorders are commonly treated by endocrinologists: high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, osteoporosis, cholesterol problems, menopause, metabolic disorders, thyroid diseases, excessive or insufficient production of hormones, some cancers, short stature, and infertility.
