Reasons to Consult a Pediatric Endocrinologist
During the consultation, I will provide all the necessary recommendations for weight loss. Based on the results of further examinations, we will be able to rule out endocrine and genetic disorders that may hinder weight loss. I will discuss the pharmacological treatment options for obesity in children. If you wish, I am ready to work with your food diary in an online chat for an extended period.
During the consultation, I will answer all your questions regarding this condition. We will select a basal-bolus therapy for decompensation based on extended online consultations. I will set up your existing insulin pump and calculate the insulin therapy without hospitalization. We will also be able to assess the genetic risk of developing diabetes in relatives of a patient with T1DM.
We will conduct a differential diagnosis of thyroid diseases based on the results of tests and ultrasound during the appointment (not available in all clinics). We will adjust the treatment if necessary. If there is a nodular formation, we will determine the indications for performing a fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
We will investigate the causes of growth retardation. If there is an endocrinological pathology, we will compensate for the missing functions. I will provide recommendations for changes in diet and physical activity in the context of reduced growth. I will assess the state of sexual development to rule out any pathologies.
We will normalize the level of vitamin D. If there are deviations in calcium levels, we will conduct diagnostics to determine the cause of the changes.
We will investigate the causes of the elevated analysis. If necessary, we will prescribe treatment.
We will determine whether this issue is related to endocrine disorders or frequent deficiencies. If a pathology is present, we will begin the necessary treatment.
We will conduct further examinations to rule out endocrine aspects of this pathology.
Sometimes weakness and fatigue can be the first symptoms of diseases. A consultation and brief additional diagnostics will be required to ensure there are no metabolic issues.
