Kirsten E. Peters is an Endocrinologist based in Perth, WA. Her practice is at 6 Verdun Street, Perth, WA 6009, Australia. Endocrinology is about hormones and how they affect the whole body, so appointments often cover more than one system at a time.
Kirsten works with people who live with long-term health conditions, especially diabetes and related complications. This can include Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), as well as conditions linked to how the body handles sugar over time. She also looks after people with issues like Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, which can show up earlier in life and needs careful, ongoing management.
Some patients are dealing with kidney and heart problems that can connect back to hormonal and metabolic health. Kirsten supports people with Chronic Kidney Disease and Diabetic Nephropathy, and she also helps when Heart Failure is part of the picture. At times, hormone-related conditions can also sit alongside these problems, so care needs to be steady and coordinated. She also treats Hyperthyroidism, which can affect energy levels, heart rate, sleep, and day-to-day wellbeing.
There are also other health problems she manages, including Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia. Low B12 can make people feel tired and weak, and it can be tricky when it’s not just a simple “vitamin problem”. Kirsten also sees patients with Wilson Disease, a condition where copper builds up in the body. Because these conditions can vary a lot from person to person, she focuses on getting a clear picture first, then making a plan that fits with your routine and health goals.
Care in endocrinology is often about small steps that add up. Over time, treatment plans may need adjusting as symptoms change, test results come in, or life circumstances shift. Kirsten’s approach is calm and practical, aiming to help patients understand what’s going on and what can be done next.
