Track: Pediatric and Neonatal Endocrinology

Pediatric and Neonatal Endocrinology

Pediatric and Neonatal Endocrinology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, management, and long-term care of hormonal and metabolic disorders affecting infants, children, and adolescents. This field addresses endocrine conditions that influence growth, development, puberty, metabolism, and overall health, with special attention to disorders presenting in the neonatal period and early childhood.


Subtopics:


Growth and Pubertal Disorders: Evaluation and management of short stature, tall stature, delayed puberty, and precocious puberty.

Adrenal Disorders: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal insufficiency, and disorders of cortisol and aldosterone secretion.


Calcium and Bone Metabolism: Disorders such as rickets, osteoporosis, and vitamin D deficiency affecting skeletal health.


Disorders of Sex Development (DSD): Diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of atypical sexual development.


Endocrine Disorders in the Newborn: Screening, early detection, and management of hormonal imbalances in neonates.


This session offers an invaluable opportunity to learn, collaborate, and inspire progress in the crucial field of Pediatric and Neonatal Endocrinology.
