Internal Medicine
Internal medicine deals with the functions, structure and diseases of internal organs—such as the liver (hepatology), digestive system (gastroenterology) and respiratory system (pulmonology), the cardiovascular system (cardiology), metabolism and hormones (endocrinology), blood and blood-forming organs (hematology), kidneys and urinary tract (nephrology), as well as infectious diseases (infectious diseases) and the immune system (immunology).
Laboratory values and ultrasound diagnostics play a crucial role. However, as in all of internal medicine, the most important first step is a detailed conversation with the patient—your medical history (anamnesis).
As a specialist in internal medicine, I focus on prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of conditions affecting these organ systems.
Internal medicine treatment spectrum
Cardiovascular system (cardiology)
High blood pressure, coronary artery disease (CAD), angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, inflammatory heart diseases, myocarditis, arterial and venous disorders
- ECG and 24-hour ECG
- Long-term blood pressure monitoring
Respiratory system (pulmonology)
Asthma, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Pulmonary function testing
Metabolism and hormones (endocrinology)
Diabetes mellitus, lipid metabolism disorders, gout, thyroid dysfunction
- Laboratory diagnostics
- Thyroid ultrasound
Digestive system (gastroenterology)
Gastritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, liver diseases, pancreatic diseases, tumors, heartburn, general intestinal and digestive complaints, food intolerances
- Nutritional analyses
- Ultrasound examination
- Laboratory diagnostics
Kidneys and urinary tract
Urinary tract infections, kidney stones, impaired kidney function (renal insufficiency)
- Protein measurement in urine
- Microbiological urine analysis
- Ultrasound of kidneys and urinary tract
- 24-hour urine analysis
Infectious diseases
All infectious diseases
- Review and update of vaccination status
- Advice on hygiene measures
- Inhalation therapy
Infusion therapy
Individually tailored infusions containing minerals, vitamins, trace elements and amino acids support recovery processes, help maintain health, promote physical well-being and strengthen the body’s metabolic functions.
Health check-up (two appointments)
The health check-up serves the early detection of diseases so they can be treated earlier and more effectively. Regular preventive care can make an important contribution to maintaining your well-being and health. I review your health status at defined intervals and we develop an optimization plan together.
- Consultation & health status
- Thorough physical examination
- Blood draw and lab analysis
- Resting ECG
- Color ultrasound of abdominal organs
- Pulmonary function test
- Examination of blood vessels and thyroid
- Color duplex ultrasound of carotid arteries
- Detailed final consultation
Psychosomatic health
Interactions between physical illnesses/symptoms and psychological stress (anxiety disorders, depression, stress and post-traumatic stress disorder)
Diagnostic procedures
- ECG, long-term ECG
- Long-term blood pressure monitoring
- Oxygen saturation measurement (SpO₂)
- Pulmonary function test (spirometry)
- Color ultrasound of abdominal organs (abdomen)
- Color ultrasound of the thyroid
- Color duplex ultrasound of vessels (veins and arteries)
- Lymph node ultrasound
- Chest ultrasound (thorax)
- Laboratory diagnostics, rapid heart attack test, heart failure test, CRP rapid test
- Food intolerance and allergy tests, microbiome analysis
