Endocrinology

About the Speciality

Our Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism offers specialist, long-term care for hormone and metabolic disorders such as diabetes, thyroid disease, pituitary, adrenal and bone-health conditions. Our endocrinologists work with surgery, oncology, ophthalmology, obstetrics and transplant teams to deliver personalised diagnostic pathways (blood tests, imaging, bone density and thyroid biopsy) and tailored medical, procedural and surgical plans. Services include diabetes and lipid management, obesity and metabolic-syndrome care (with bariatric pathways), pediatric growth and puberty clinics, reproductive endocrinology and gender-affirming hormone support.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder characterised by chronic anovulation, clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound. It is a heterogeneous condition with significant metabolic and reproductive implications.

Addison’s Disease

Addison's disease is a chronic endocrine disorder characterised by insufficient production of adrenal corticosteroids-primarily cortisol and aldosterone-due to adrenal gland dysfunction or destruction.

Common Hormonal Disorders (Endocrinopathies)

Hormonal disorders, or endocrinopathies, are conditions caused by the abnormal production (too much or too little) of a hormone by an endocrine gland, or by the body's inability to respond to a hormone properly.

Hypothyroidism

A disorder in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.

Diabetes Mellitus

A group of metabolic diseases characterised by chronic high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.

Procedures & treatments provided

Adrenal Vein Sampling (AVS)

Adrenal vein sampling is a specialised diagnostic procedure used to determine the source of excess aldosterone production in patients with primary hyperaldosteronism. It involves collecting blood samples directly from the adrenal veins to measure hormone levels.

Bone Mineral Density Testing (DEXA Scan)

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is a non-invasive imaging procedure used to measure bone mineral density, primarily for diagnosing osteoporosis and assessing fracture risk. It is considered the gold standard for bone density measurement.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System Insertion

Continuous glucose monitoring is a procedure where a small sensor is inserted under the skin to continuously measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid, providing real-time glucose data for patients with diabetes.

Growth Hormone Stimulation Test

The growth hormone stimulation test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate growth hormone deficiency in children and adults. It measures the pituitary gland's ability to produce growth hormone in response to stimulation.

Learn More

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

The oral glucose tolerance test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate how the body processes glucose, primarily for diagnosing diabetes, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes. It measures blood glucose levels before and after consuming a standardised glucose solution.

Thyroid Ultrasound with Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy

Thyroid ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate thyroid nodules and determine if they are benign or cancerous. This procedure combines ultrasound imaging with tissue sampling to provide an accurate diagnosis of thyroid abnormalities.

Thyroid Uptake and Scan

The thyroid uptake and scan is a nuclear medicine procedure that evaluates thyroid function and structure by measuring how much radioactive iodine or technetium the thyroid gland absorbs and creating images of the gland.
