The items that need to be examined in the endocrinology department for obesity generally include nuclear magnetic resonance examination, glucose tolerance test and hormone examination.
1. Nuclear magnetic resonance examination: generally need to accept the pituitary gland in the nuclear magnetic resonance examination, to exclude certain pituitary lesions caused by obesity, such as Cushing’s syndrome, often accompanied by centripetal obesity and other clinical manifestations.
2. Glucose tolerance test: obesity is easy to combine with diabetes or cause abnormal glucose tolerance, and may cause insulin resistance, so need to accept the glucose tolerance test, but also need to accept insulin measurement to exclude the possibility of metabolic abnormalities.
3. Hormone examination: Cortisol hormone examination and adrenocorticotropic hormone examination are needed to exclude the possibility of cortisolism.
It is recommended that patients need to go to a regular hospital to receive a comprehensive examination, find the cause of the disease, and then actively seek treatment under the guidance of specialists.
