What do we do in endocrinology?

At Fundación Valle del Lili we are specialized in the diagnosis as well as treatment of Endocrine System Disorders, that is, hormone-producing glands and organs. We attend nationally and internationally to people with disorders of diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, osteoporosis, bone metabolism disorders, thyroid pathologies, hormonal disorders of the adrenal gland, gender dysphoria, pituitary gland, and gonads.

The Endocrinology area offers high-level specialized consultation through a medical and assistance team trained and committed to comprehensive patient care.

Currently, it is the only service of this specialty in the city of Cali where special dynamic hormone tests are performed; besides being the first in the management of the insulin pump in the southwest of Colombia and the examination of diagnostic aids such as bone densitometry and body composition by DXA.


Within the Endocrinology service, we provide comprehensive care for patients with endocrine disorders, both in face-to-face outpatient consultation and virtual modality through teleconsultation, hospitalization, and emergencies at the different sites of the Fundación Valle del Lili. In addition, we perform:

  • Bone densitometry with morphometry in adults and children
  • Body composition by DXA
  • Endocrine dynamic tests
  • Glucose Monitoring Placement
  • Insulin infusion pump placement
  • Interdisciplinary meetings (medical boards) for patient review
  • Program for diabetes, prediabetic, obesity, thyroid, and osteoporosis, among others.
  • Bone densitometry with morphometry for adults and children

At Fundación Valle del Lili we care about our patients, which is why we seek to provide you not only with the best service but also with the best experience. Within Endocrinology, we have cycles in patient and family education:

  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Thyroid disease
  • Endocrine pathologies

It is probably one of our professionals who will refer you to a specialist in endocrinology when seeing any alteration in routine tests, such as high cholesterol, triglycerides or sugar, or thyroid function abnormalities. However, you can also go voluntarily if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • Sudden weight loss or gain
  • Excessive sweating
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Swelling sensation
  • Abundant hair growth
  • Excessive tiredness and exhaustion
  • Tachycardia or arrhythmias
  • A feeling of constant thirst
  • Increased thyroid size

Such symptoms may not necessarily be related to a disease or hormonal alteration; however, it is vital to see a medical specialist if you think that something in your body is not responding correctly. Remember that our hospital offers a wide range of specialists to help you with all your concerns and procedures.

Within the Endocrinology service, we have seven specialists in internal medicine and endocrinology who work with excellence, covering all your endocrinology specialists who work with excellence, covering all your needs.
