Adult Endocrinology

411 Laurel Street, Des Moines, IA

Dr. Nancy Kane practices adult endocrinology in Des Moines, IA.

"At first I was very impressed. Then as the months went by, several visits I became displeased. Nursing staff are very crass. Just plainly I am over all very unhappy with this practice and doctor. And to switch doctors there, a patient needs to pay a fee. Its impossible to find a doctor that I feel is a good match there. about the Doc.....very unhappy my thyroid cancer is being handled. First appointment she took a lot of time to review my transferred records. Then after that, it went all down hill. I will not waste my monies seeing her again. Too willing to push unnecessary meds. And does not take into consideration the human quality of life. I'm pretty close to mailing all my bills to her and her unprofessional, rude nurse. "

What is Endocrinology?

Endocrinology is a medical specialty that deals with glands and hormones. Hormones are substances that act like chemical messengers between parts of the body. They are produced by glands, and travel in the bloodstream throughout the body where they act on different organs and cells to affect many different functions of life. Hormones control our appetite, growth, reproduction, and energy. When there is too little or too much of a hormone, an endocrinologist can help restore the balance.

Endocrinology problems are sometimes difficult and complex because hormones travel throughout the body and can affect more than one system. A single, simple imbalance can produce multiple, very different symptoms. Just a few of the diverse diseases treated by an endocrinologist include:

Diabetes (where insulin is not produced in the body or is not working well, and blood sugar levels rise, which damages tissues)
Hypothyroidism (where thyroid hormones are not produced well, reducing cell metabolism and energy)
Precocious Puberty (where reproductive hormones are produced too early in a child's life)
Gigantism (where growth hormones are overproduced, leading to unusual size)

Endocrinology can contain subspecialties where physicians focus their care on specific groups of patients. For example, some endocrinologists are diabetic endocrinologists who know specifically how to care for diabetics' particular needs in eye care, circulation, and foot care. Pediatric endocrinologists treat children. Whatever their subspecialty, all endocrinologists have the same goal: restoring balance when the body's messaging system is not working correctly.
