Endocrinology involves the study of the endocrine system. The endocrine system is comprised of organs and glands such as the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands as well as testes, ovaries, and pancreas. They secrete vital hormones into the bloodstream which are required for critical metabolic and other bodily activities. Endocrinopathy covers the study of diseases related to the endocrine system, which are often referred to as hormonal imbalances, though both the causes are much more complex.
Poor diet, stress, smoking, polluted environment, and the general negligence of health stress the endocrine glands, causing a host of medical complications along with diabetes which leads to a further decline in health.

The endocrinology and Diabetes Department is involved in the diagnosis and management of patients with diabetes, obesity, hormonal disorders, thyroid, short stature, pituitary/ adrenal/ bone disorders, and metabolic syndrome both in the outpatient and inpatient areas. The department is supported by the hospital’s well-equipped laboratory and radiology departments for diagnostic testing.
