Paediatric endocrinology is a subspeciality of paediatrics that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing hormonal disorders in children and adolescents. Hormones play a crucial role in a child’s metabolism, growth, and development. When the endocrine system encounters imbalances, it can lead to a wide range of health issues that can significantly impact life.

Diabetes is a condition that occurs when there is too much glucose or sugar in the blood. When the body does not produce enough insulin, a hormone that helps move sugar from the blood into cells, it results in high blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes among children that can lead to several comorbidities. Owing to its seriousness, it receives the utmost attention from our medical professionals.
An imbalance in growth hormones can harm a child’s height, weight, and puberty-related growth. The most common condition among children is growth hormone deficiency which occurs when the pituitary gland does not produce enough hormones for regular growth.
Two common conditions affecting people are hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland produces too little or too much thyroid hormone. This imbalance of hormones leads to several other symptoms like weight loss, weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, depression, nervousness, and more.
The gonads produce sex hormones, and various problems can arise from low or excessive hormone production. In boys, hypogonadism can slow development and cause health issues, while it can hinder breast growth and menstruation in girls. Excessive hormones can cause rapid sexual development.
The adrenal glands release hormones that are crucial for stress response and puberty. When the hormones are secreted in abnormal amounts, it can lead to various disorders among children. For example – Cushing’s Syndrome.
