The Internal Medicine Department provides consultations for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases affecting one or more internal organs. Here such a patient is fully assessed and the priorities for treatment are indicated.
Patients with multiple diseases are followed up in this practice, as well as some of the patients initially diagnosed or treated by organ specialists:
- clinical, functional and imaging diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases (bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, bronchial asthma)
- diagnosis of cardiac diseases (hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation), their management and risk factors (e.g. dyslipidaemia) and delay the progression of heart failure
- diagnosis and treatment of digestive disorders (jaundice, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, ulcerative disease, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, gall bladder disease)
- diagnosis of renal diseases: urinary tract infections, renal lithiasis, and their therapy
- diagnosis of anemic syndrome
- diagnosis of rheumatological diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, gout, collagen diseases (lupus erythematosus, scleroderma), vasculitis, their treatment and follow-up
- issue of prenuptial certificates and health certificates
This activity is supported by the possibility of:
- ambulatory monitoring (24/48 hours) of blood pressure
- EKG holter
- laboratory investigations: screening or complex blood tests
- computerised electrocardiogram
- abdominal ultrasound
- colour Doppler echocardiography
- functional respiratory samples
The most common diseases diagnosed and treated by the internist:
- Heart: hypertension, ischemic heart disease, heart failure.
- Lungs: chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, COPD, pneumonia, acute tracheobronchitis, sarcoidosis, cancer screening.
- Stomach: gastritis, ulcer, reflux disease, cancer screening.
- Liver: chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, steatosis (fatty liver), dyskinesia and gallstones, cancer screening.
- Colon: irritable colon, cancer screening.
- Kidneys: renal lithiasis (sand and stones), urinary tract infections, pyelonephritis, chronic renal failure (first stage).
- Blood: anaemia, detection of other more serious diseases (lymphomas, leukaemia).
- Bone skeleton and joints: degenerative and inflammatory rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis.
- Metabolism: dyslipidaemia (high cholesterol), gout, diabetes and thyroid disease.
- Systemic diseases: lupus, scleroderma, vasculitis (Wegener’s disease, etc.).
