Endocrinology and nutrition

What is pediatric endocrinology and nutrition? 

Pediatric endocrinology and nutrition is our medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of endocrine system disorders and nutritional problems in children and adolescents. The endocrine system is responsible for the production of hormones, which regulate various bodily functions, such as growth, sexual development, metabolism, and fluid and electrolyte balance. Our pediatric endocrinologists have experience in managing hormonal and metabolic diseases specific to childhood. 

Conditions treated by this specialty include growth disorders, early or delayed puberty, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases, calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders, obesity, and eating behavior disorders. Our pediatric endocrinology team works in conjunction with other specialists, such as nutritionists, psychologists, and educators, to provide comprehensive care to each young person. If your son or daughter has any symptoms related to their growth, development, or nutrition, do not hesitate to book an appointment with our experts. We are here to help you.
