The various hormonal investigations are done at the hospital’s RIA lab and some tests which are not done at our laboratory are sent to the city’s leading pathology labs.

The patients are given one to one consultations to discuss and treat their problems. Dieticians take a detailed account of the dietary needs of the patients at the hospital. There are also emergency services available for endocrinological emergencies like diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycaemia, myxedema coma, hypoglycaemia, hypercalcaemia and hypocalcaemia, which can be controlled with the help of the hospital’s efficient ICU/ICCU facilities.
