Endocrinology is the medical specialty focused on the body’s hormones and the glands that produce them. These hormones control many essential functions – from metabolism and growth to mood, fertility, and energy levels. Endocrinologists diagnose and treat conditions caused by hormonal imbalances, including diabetes, thyroid issues, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), and adrenal or pituitary disorders.
At Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Hospital, our Endocrinology & Diabetes Department provides advanced, patient-centered care for hormonal and metabolic health. Backed by the expertise of physicians from the Imperial College London Diabetes Centre, our team brings decades of experience in managing complex hormonal conditions.
Whether you're seeking help with diabetes, unexplained weight changes, fatigue, or hormonal concerns, our goal is to provide comprehensive care in a welcoming, supportive environment designed around your needs and long-term well-being.
If you're experiencing symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain or loss, irregular periods, hair thinning, or issues with blood sugar or thyroid levels – it’s time to see an endocrinologist. These symptoms can signal underlying hormone imbalances that need expert evaluation and care.
People of all ages may need an endocrinologist at different stages in life. This includes those with diabetes, thyroid problems, fertility concerns, bone health issues, growth or puberty disorders in children, or hormonal changes during menopause or pregnancy. Endocrinologists help manage conditions that affect your energy, metabolism, development, and reproductive health.
We offer a wide range of adult and pediatric endocrinology services, supported by advanced diagnostic tools and tailored care plans for every individual.

Your body depends on a careful balance of minerals and hormones to function properly. When this balance is disrupted, it can affect your muscles, nerves, bones, and overall energy levels. Our endocrinologists diagnose and manage conditions related to these imbalances – helping restore your body’s natural rhythm and prevent complications.
Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium Imbalances
Diagnosis and correction of key electrolyte disorders that affect the body’s vital functions.
Metabolic Bone Disease
Comprehensive care for conditions that affect bone formation, strength, and calcium metabolism.
Our clinic uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately assess hormone levels and gland function. These include blood and urine hormone testing, ultrasound-guided procedures, thyroid function scans, and bone density (DEXA) scanning—ensuring precise diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
At Sheikh Zayed Bin Zayed Hospital, you’re cared for by a team with deep expertise in both routine and complex endocrine conditions. Our approach combines evidence-based treatment, cutting-edge diagnostics, and individualized care in a comfortable and private setting.
