Description:

Charité: In addition to the care of patients with general internal diseases clinic is on metabolic diseases such as overweight and obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2, thyroid disorders, disorders of bone metabolism (eg, osteoporosis), disorders of the pituitary gland and the adrenal specialties include diseases. In the diagnosis and treatment we can implement a comprehensive care for our patients. So we have, for example, all patients with hormonal disorders or bone suggest such disease (eg, osteoporosis), the free examination of bone density (DXA) at.
Our clinic is a center of excellence in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with endocrine tumors (eg, adrenal and thyroid carcinomas, pheochromocytomas, pituitary adenomas).

In the medical nutrition field and diabetology we offer in our day hospital, among others individualized nutrition therapies for the treatment of diabetic patients with high insulin requirements in (oats days).
We are very active in basic and clinical research and deal scientifically with hormonal imbalances, nutritional and medical issues and metabolic diseases.

DIFE: The mission of the German Institute of Human Nutrition (DIfE) is to conduct experimental and clinical research in the field of nutrition and health, with the aim of understanding the molecular basis of nutrition-dependent diseases, and of developing new strategies for prevention, treatment, and nutritional recommendations. Scientists at the DIfE pursue these scientific goals by interdisciplinary cooperation comprising a broad spectrum of experimental and epidemiological methods. A particular focus of the institute is research on the most important diseases at present, i.e., obesity, diabetes, and cancer, whose development may involve nutrition-dependent factors. DIfE is an independent foundation and member of the Leibniz Association, an alliance of scientific institutions.
