Endocrinology and Metabolism

Comprehensive and Specialized Endocrine Care

The Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at Samsung Medical Center offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of endocrine disorders, including diabetes, thyroid disease, pituitary and adrenal disorders, osteoporosis, and obesity. We combine advanced diagnostics, personalized therapies, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to provide optimal, patient-centered care.

State-of-the-Art Clinical Practice

We utilize cutting-edge technologies such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to assess individual glucose patterns and optimize insulin therapy. Our department provides personalized treatment plans for thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, and metabolic disorders based on the latest medical evidence and innovations.

A full range of hormone assays, stimulation and suppression testing, and endocrine imaging is available. Our in-house laboratory enables rapid assessment of endocrine function and diabetic complications, ensuring timely and precise clinical decisions.

Specialized Expertise

Pituitary Care Center

We offer expert care for pituitary disorders such as adenomas, Cushing's disease, and acromegaly. High-resolution MRI and detailed hormone profiling enable accurate diagnosis, while collaborative care with neurosurgery and ophthalmology ensures comprehensive and effective treatment.

Specialized Thyroid Clinic

Our thyroid clinic provides comprehensive care for thyroid nodules, thyroid dysfunction, and thyroid cancer. Working closely with specialists in surgery, radiology, and nuclear medicine, we offer accurate diagnostics and individualized treatment options, including both surgical and non-surgical approaches.

Expertise in Adrenal Disorders

Our adrenal service specializes in the evaluation and treatment of adrenal tumors such as pheochromocytomas and incidentalomas, as well as conditions like adrenal insufficiency and hormonal syndromes like hyperaldosteronism. We employ state-of-the-art biochemical and imaging techniques to support diagnosis, surgical planning, and post-treatment management.

Integrated Diabetes Center

The Diabetes Center provides coordinated care for patients with complex diabetes and its complications. Using tools such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), individualized insulin education, and team-based support (including educators, dietitians, pharmacists, and social workers), we help patients achieve effective self-management

Research and Innovation

Our department is actively engaged in international clinical trials and investigator-initiated studies across areas such as diabetes, thyroid cancer, pituitary tumors, and adrenal disorders. Through this research, we contribute to the advancement of personalized endocrine therapies and deeper understanding of disease mechanisms.
