WHAT IS ENDOCRINOLOGY?

Endocrinology is the study of hormones made by your body that control normal functions day-to-day. A hormone is either a steroid or a protein signalling molecule that influences normal physiology by maintaining normal:

Blood sugar levels (insulin)

Metabolism, temperature and growth (thyroid hormone)

Periods and fertility (gonadotrophins, insulin)

Breastfeeding (prolactin)

Maintaining bone density and quality (parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, thyroid hormone, and insulin growth factor-1)

Growth (growth hormone and insulin growth factor-1)

Sexual arousal (testosterone)

Stress and metabolism (cortisol)

Calcium levels (parathyroid hormone)

Stress and 'flight or fight' response (adrenaline, noradrenaline)

Blood pressure (aldosterone, renin)

Endocrine disease happens when one (or more) of these hormones are no longer in balance.

WHAT IS NEPHROLOGY?

Nephrology is the study of kidney disease. Your kidneys are vitally important to maintain your blood pressure, levels of haemoglobin, fluid and volume, salts in your blood and maintain to control your calcium, vitamin D, parathyroid, phosphate levels and bone health.
