Track: Pediatric Endocrinology
Session Overview
This session provides an overview of pediatric endocrine physiology, common disorders in childhood, and clinical management approaches. It emphasizes the importance of early detection and long-term follow-up, as well as the role of family-centered care in supporting children with endocrine conditions.
Key Topics
Growth Disorders and Growth Hormone Deficiency: Growth hormone deficiency and other growth disorders can lead to short stature and developmental delays, requiring hormone replacement and monitoring to support normal growth.
Congenital Hypothyroidism: Congenital hypothyroidism is a condition present at birth that can affect growth and brain development if not diagnosed and treated early through newborn screening and hormone replacement.
Puberty Disorders and Delayed Puberty: Puberty disorders can result from hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, or underlying medical conditions, leading to delayed or early onset of puberty.
Type 1 Diabetes in Children: Type 1 diabetes is a common chronic endocrine disorder in children that requires careful monitoring, insulin therapy, and education to maintain optimal growth and development.
Pediatric Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome: Childhood obesity and metabolic syndrome are increasingly common and can lead to long-term health issues, including insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes.
Learning Objectives
Participants will understand common endocrine disorders affecting children and adolescents and their clinical management approaches. The session aims to enhance knowledge of growth monitoring, diagnostic evaluation, and age-specific treatment strategies. Attendees will learn how early-life endocrine disturbances can influence long-term metabolic health. The session also emphasizes the importance of family-centered care and early intervention to improve outcomes for pediatric endocrine conditions.
