Paediatric Endocrinology

Paediatric Endocrinology is a specialty that encompasses disorders involving hormones. Hormones are made in our bodies by a network of glands including the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, pituitary gland and pancreas.

When there is an imbalance in hormones present in the body, this can cause problems with important childhood processes like growth, puberty, blood sugar control or other aspects of metabolism. The management of hormone conditions usually includes medications and blood tests.
