Internal Medicine, also known as Internal Medicine, is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting various organ systems. Scientific advancements allow for the early detection of diseases that may occur in the body. Through certain diagnostic tests and imaging techniques, it is possible to identify the nature of these diseases and determine the appropriate treatment methods. Common diseases encountered in daily life, such as diabetes and hypertension, are often studied in this field. Additionally, infectious diseases, blood disorders, immune system disorders, liver diseases, and respiratory diseases are also investigated within the realm of Internal Medicine.
