Diabetes, Thyroid and Endocrinology Clinic

Chularat Cholvaej Hospital

Direct Care by Endocrinology and Metabolism Specialists for Targeted Diagnosis and Management

Diabetes, thyroid disorders, and abnormalities of hormones or metabolic function may develop silently, without obvious symptoms. However, without appropriate diagnosis and management, these conditions may affect long-term health and lead to complications involving multiple organ systems.

Diabetes, Thyroid and Endocrinology Clinic, Chularat Cholvaej Hospital provides diagnostic, treatment and follow-up services for individuals with disorders of the endocrine system, hormones and metabolism. Care is provided directly by Internal Medicine Specialists in Endocrinology and Metabolism (Endocrinology and Metabolism), enabling comprehensive assessment and individualised management planning.

Comprehensive Diabetes Care

Services range from screening individuals at risk of diabetes, prediabetes and insulin resistance, to ongoing care for patients with diabetes. Assessment includes blood glucose levels, HbA1c, metabolic risk factors and related complications.

Treatment focuses not only on “lowering blood glucose”, but also on managing associated risk factors, including body weight, blood pressure, blood lipids, nutrition and health behaviours. This approach aims to help reduce the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetic eye disease and other complications.

Thyroid Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

The clinic provides care for individuals with thyroid disorders, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid enlargement and thyroid nodules, as well as those with abnormal thyroid hormone test results, even when they have no obvious symptoms.

Patients are assessed based on their symptoms, laboratory findings and additional investigations where medically indicated, in order to identify the underlying cause and determine an appropriate treatment approach.

Management of Dyslipidaemia and Metabolic Disorders

Abnormal blood lipid levels, particularly elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, are important factors associated with cardiovascular disease.

The clinic provides assessment and management of dyslipidaemia, including individuals with diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome, with the aim of developing an appropriate long-term risk-management plan.

Management of Hormonal and Endocrine Disorders

The clinic provides comprehensive assessment of endocrine and hormonal disorders, including:

• Disorders of the pituitary and adrenal glands
• Disorders of calcium and parathyroid function
• Osteoporosis and disorders of bone metabolism
• Certain hormonal disorders
• Obesity and metabolic disorders
• Dyslipidaemia

Because Hormonal and Metabolic Disorders Require More Than Looking at Test Results

An abnormal blood test may represent only one part of the underlying problem. Identifying the cause, assessing associated risk factors and selecting an appropriate treatment approach for each individual are central to the effective management of diabetes, thyroid disorders and endocrine conditions.
