Endocrinopathy

The endocrine system is an important organ that controls metabolism and regulates hormonal balance in the body. Endocrinopathies are diseases that are associated with disruption of the endocrine system. These diseases can lead to serious health problems and even death. In this article we will look at the main types of endocrine diseases and their symptoms.

Disturbances in the functioning of the endocrine glands - the so-called. Disorders of hormone secretion caused by pathologies of the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, adrenal glands or hypothalamus. Most often, disruption of the endocrine glands is caused by hereditary factors, but sometimes the cause is an autoimmune process (for example, vasculitis), tumors, injuries, infections and other lesions.

The problem of insulin tolerance - hypoglycemia - still remains relevant. Leading endocrinologists believe that the most promising approach to treating this pathology is changing the patient’s lifestyle.

This is confirmed by the results of a study conducted in San Remo and published in the journal Diabetes and the European Diabetes Journal. The study involved 877 patients aged from 40 to 95 years, with an average age of 60 years. They were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

One of the most promising methods for diagnosing carbohydrate metabolism disorders is the analysis of glycine levels.
