ENDOCRINOLOGY
Endocrine system… “under the microscope”.
Endocrinology is the science that studies the function of endocrine glands, who are responsible for hormone production.
Main endocrine glands are:
- Thyroid
- Parathyroid glands
- Pituitary
- Adrenal glands
- Pancreas
- Testicles
- Ovaries
Endocrine glands are responsible for the control and coordination of almost all activities of the human body.
Dr. Mary Triantafyllidou in her private practice endopraxis, in Kavala, offers high-standard services, for the care and treatment of every issue regarding diseases of endocrine glands.

- Disturbed function of parathyroid glands
- Hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism
- Disturbed pituitary function
- Hyperprolactinaemia/prolactinomas, overproduction of growth hormone/acromegaly, overproduction of cortisol/pituitary Cushing’s disease, reduced production of one or more pituitary hormones, most commonly as a result of pituitary tumors or immunotherapy of oncological patients
- Disturbed function of adrenal glands
- Cortisol over-production/Cushing syndrome, cortisol deficiency/Addison’s disease, hyperaldosteronism
