Endocrinology

Managing the body's control system

The endocrine system and the hormones it produces communicate with and control the cells, organs and function of our bodies. The endocrine system regulates:

  • Energy levels
  • Growth and development
  • Tissue function
  • Sexual function and reproductive processes

The endocrinologists at The University of Kansas Hospital are experts in treating disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism and osteoporosis.

All of our endocrinologists are faculty members at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. As experts in their fields, they teach new physicians the most effective treatment methods.
