What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather data on adults with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and thyroid disease. Participants will undergo a medical history review, physical examination, and various laboratory tests to assess their conditions. The study seeks to enhance understanding of these disorders and train healthcare providers in their diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, it will collect samples for future research, including genetic studies.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 years and older with known or suspected endocrine disorders.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years old or those with severe medical conditions that could complicate participation may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment options for patients with endocrine and metabolic disorders.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies focusing on endocrine disorders have shown promise in improving understanding and treatment, making this approach both relevant and potentially impactful.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
* INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Participants with known or suspected endocrine disorder age 18 years and older are eligible for this protocol. Protocol investigators will make the actual selection of subjects most appropriate for clinical evaluation. * Relatives ages 18 years and older may be enrolled if clinically indicated for the diagnosis of a proband. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: * Anyone under the age of 18 years old * Any medical, physical, psychiatric, or social conditions, which, in the opinion of the investigators, would make participation in this protocol not in the best interest of the subject. Subjects who are critically ill, unstable, or with severe organ failure that may affect/limit the endocrine evaluation and place unsustainable demands on Clinical Center or NIDDK resources.
