Hepatology
The science of liver disease. Diseases of the liver can include diseases of the whole liver (diffuse liver disease) as well as focal lesions in the liver. Diffuse liver diseases are often of inflammatory origin. Inflammation of the liver can be caused by viruses, which can lead to chronic inflammation of the liver. Liver-specific viruses are hepatitis A, B, C, D and E viruses. The liver can have autoimmune diseases, autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune biliary inflammation. Inherited liver diseases also occur, iron and copper storage diseases. The most common liver disease today is fatty liver, which is often associated with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal blood lipids. Liver disease caused by excessive alcohol consumption is common, but drugs and chemicals can also play a role in toxic damage.
Rheumatology
Rheumatology is a specialized field for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, which cures lesions, pain and stiffness of tendons, joints, muscles and bones with conservative, i.e. non-surgical intervention. This includes autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or metabolic diseases (e.g. gout), other inflammatory disorders, joint abrasions, osteoporosis, spinal wear and tear and inflammatory conditions, pain caused by strain (including tennis elbows, frozen shoulders and swollen flat feet). Many diseases originating internally have musculoskeletal symptoms, therefore close cooperation with doctors in other areas is essential. A special emphasis is placed on the work of physiotherapists who are involved, in close cooperation with the patient, with harmonizing joint movement and gait, maintaining balance and strengthening weakened muscles. Rheumatological problems can occur in anyone, regardless of age or gender. Early detection and effective treatment of severe inflammatory rheumatological diseases, even at a young age, can significantly alter their outcome and the patient's quality of life.
Allergy and asthma screening package for children
Asthma and other allergic diseases (chronic conjunctivitis, common colds, eczema, food sensitivity) are the most common conditions in childhood and adolescence and their incidence is increasing worldwide. The signs and symptoms are often atypical and can persist for months or years before the correct diagnosis comes to light, forming the basis for effective treatment. Late diagnosis hinders school performance, causes parents to lose working hours and in many cases leads to the development of irreversible, more severe conditions, hospitalizations and quality of life impairment. However, with targeted examinations these diseases can be detected in good time, even in an asymptomatic state, and the appropriate therapy administered. Our asthma and allergy screening package, in accordance with the child’s age, involves a risk assessment and basic tests carried out by a specialist. Specific laboratory, allergy, immunological, respiratory function, diagnostic imaging and if necessary, co-specialist examinations will then be conducted as determined by the existing risk. After making the correct diagnosis or diagnoses, targeted lifestyle counselling and individualized treatment will be administered according to the medical condition.
Dietetics
In the course of providing dietary advice, we provide assistance not only with lifestyle changes and health maintenance, but also with the dietary treatment of established diseases. In striving for the best results for our patients, we focus on individual problems; as we are all different, our counseling is completely personalized. In collaboration with our medical team we explore the causes of symptoms and complaints. We provide laboratory and other diagnostic tests for our patients. In collaboration with a doctor of internal medicine, cardiologist, endocrinologist, diabetologist, gastroenterologist and other specialists whenever necessary, we assure our patients the benefit of the most complex care possible. We provide dietary advice and compile a diet that is optimized in line with the patient’s gender, age, weight, occupation and physical activity. The success of our work lies in achieving long-term change, which is why we consider it important to follow up at regular intervals. During the consultations, we teach patients how to eat according to their disease or condition, from the right choice of ingredients to kitchen technology and decisions concerning portion sizes. Our goal is not a one-dimensional diet but to create a well-balanced diet and a livable lifestyle.
Internal medicine
Internal medicine is one of the most complex fields of general medicine, in which, in addition to treatment, prevention is also playing an increasingly important role. The internal medicine specialist mainly deals with pathological changes and dysfunctions of the internal organs and organ systems. Many disciplines are based on internal medicine, such as: diabetology for diabetes, gastroenterology for the digestive system, endocrinology for hormone function, nephrology for kidney disease, cardiology for cardiovascular disease, pulmonology for the respiratory system and hematology for dealing with blood disorders.The internal medicine specialist coordinates these disciplines when treating the patient. This role is comparable to that of a general practitioner, as it may either cure only one acute illness or play a caring role for years in the treatment of chronic diseases.
Urological specialty
Urology deals with the health, congenital and acquired disorders, and diseases of the urinary tract (kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, urethra) and male genital organs, but also includes inflammatory and cancerous lesions of these organs.At our private urology department, we pay great attention to disease prevention, especially to the early diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of prostate disorders - inflammatory, benign and malignant tumors - to ensure timely and effective treatment and successful recovery.Many people still consider urological diseases to be a sensitive issue, hence they don't like to discuss it. However, these conditions are very common, and it is important to be aware of them: to this end, we will describe the typical conditions and their symptoms, and explain the urological examination and surgery to ensure you are fully informed about the procedure.
Endocrine and metabolic screening package for children
Disorders affecting the hormonal system and metabolism are diverse and widespread, making them among the most common health complaints in childhood. They can result in deficient or overactive glands (e.g. thyroid, growth), menstrual disorders during puberty, skin conditions (e.g. abnormal hair growth), weight control problems (e.g. insulin resistance, obesity, metabolic syndrome, or even abnormal leanness). Diseases not detected and treated in time - aside from cosmetic or aesthetic problems - can result in irreversible complications and associated diseases, such as central nervous system dysfunction, infertility, early atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, etc. Their detection, prevention and timely treatment is therefore essential in childhood/adolescence and requires a targeted, complex screening. The screening package for children and adolescents involves a risk analysis in accordance with international medical guidelines, using a scientifically validated method and basic tests. Targeted examinations (laboratory and imaging) are then conducted to establish an accurate diagnosis or diagnoses. Lifestyle counselling and focused, individualized treatments are carried out according to any identified diseases or preventive conditions.
