The internist is mainly concerned with pathological changes of the internal organs, the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of internal medicine diseases. Many specialties are based on internal medicine, which have led to more targeted treatment: for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/en\/consultations\/cardiology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cardiology<\/a> for heart disease, endocrinology for hormone function, <a href=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/en\/consultations\/gastroenterology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gastroenterology<\/a> for digestive system, <a href=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/en\/consultations\/haematology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">haematology<\/a> for hematopoietic disorders, <a href=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/en\/consultations\/nephrology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nephrology<\/a> for kidney disease, or <a href=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/en\/consultations\/pulmonology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pulmonology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The internal physician coordinates these disciplines during treatment. Their role is similar to that of a general practitioner, sometimes they cure only an acute illness, other times they play a caring role for years in the treatment of chronic diseases.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"select-minta wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to screening examinations, patients with internal medicine complaints (among others: influenza, cold, headache, abdominal pain, etc.) are examined and treated at the internal medicine department.
