Expertise in Gut Hormone Disorders

Gut hormone disorders arise when the gastrointestinal tract produces too much or too little of the hormones that regulate digestion, metabolism, and appetite. These imbalances can lead to a wide range of symptoms, from unexplained weight changes and gastrointestinal discomfort to more complex metabolic and endocrine issues. At Imperial College London - Diabetes & Endocrine Centre, we specialise in diagnosing and managing these often-overlooked conditions with precision and care.

In the UAE, where lifestyle-related metabolic conditions such as obesity and diabetes are increasingly common, gut hormone disorders are gaining recognition as a key contributor to broader endocrine health. Our centres in Abu Dhabi are at the forefront of identifying and treating these disorders, offering patients access to world-class expertise and advanced diagnostics.

Common Conditions We Treat

  • Reactive hypoglycaemia
  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
  • Gut hormone-related obesity and metabolic syndrome
  • Post-bariatric surgery hormonal imbalances

We also offer evaluations and management of complex conditions like:

  • Gastrinomas and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
  • Glucagonoma and insulinoma
  • Carcinoid syndrome
  • VIPoma (vasoactive intestinal peptide tumour)
  • Somatostatinoma

When to Seek Evaluation

  • Unexplained weight loss or gain
  • Episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
  • Flushing, diarrhoea, or abdominal pain
  • History of neuroendocrine tumours
  • Symptoms following bariatric or gastrointestinal surgery
  • Family history of endocrine or neuroendocrine disorders

How We Can Help

Our team of endocrinologists work together to provide a comprehensive evaluation. Treatment may involve medication, dietary modifications, surgical referral, or long-term monitoring, depending on the diagnosis. We also offer support for patients navigating complex conditions like neuroendocrine tumours or post-surgical syndromes.
