The Department of Medicine treats patients with a wide range of medical disorders. The department has special skills in the treatment of gastroenterological, hepatological and endocrinological diseases, but also has sections dedicated to patients with geriatric and internal medical disorders The Department of Medicine includes four wards with a total of 80 beds. Two of these units are primarily dedicated to patients with gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders; one unit is dedicated to patients with endocrine disorders and patients with internal medical disorders, while one unit primarily treats patients with geriatric and internal medical disorders. The department undertakes regional and highly specialized functions in various fields of gastroenterology/hepatology and endocrinology. The department has a large gastroenterology/hepatology outpatient clinic with approximately 3,500 patients. We diagnose and treat patients with upper gastroenterological diseases, including diagnosis of patients prior to reflux surgery, patients with inflammatory bowel diseases including complex cases, patients with chronic diarrhoeal diseases including coeliac disease and microscopic colitis, patients with intestinal failure, and patients with a wide range of hepatic disorders, including viral and autoimmune hepatitis. We collaborate with the Department of Surgery in performing both basal and highly advanced endoscopic procedures and in treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. One of the specialists in the department holds the chair as clinical professor in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Copenhagen. The endocrinological outpatient clinic treats patients with a wide range of endocrinological diseases, all forms of diabetes including insulin pump therapy, metabolic diseases, adrenal dysfunction and diseases related to metabolism.
