Pediatric Growth Disorders Evaluation

At the Aloha Kids Clinic, we are dedicated to offering comprehensive evaluation and care for children and adolescents with Pediatric Growth Disorders. These conditions can vary widely, from growth hormone deficiencies to genetic conditions like Turner syndrome or Achondroplasia. Our specialized Pediatric Endocrinologists are experts in identifying and managing abnormal growth patterns in children, whether they are growing too fast or too slow compared to typical developmental milestones.

Children and adolescents who exhibit signs of abnormal growth patterns, such as significantly shorter or taller stature than peers, rapid or delayed growth, or other physical symptoms associated with growth disorders, could benefit from this evaluation. Early assessment is crucial for understanding and managing these conditions effectively.

During the visit, the Pediatric Endocrinologist will review the child’s medical and family history, focusing on growth patterns and any related health issues. A thorough physical examination will be conducted, and measurements of height, weight, and body proportions will be taken. Diagnostic tests, such as blood tests to check hormone levels and, if necessary, genetic testing, may be recommended to determine the underlying cause of the growth issue.

Preparing your child involves explaining the importance of the visit in a reassuring manner, tailored to their age and understanding. Encourage your child to discuss any concerns they might have about their growth and development.

Post-visit, it is essential to provide support to your child as they may need to adapt to new medical treatments or lifestyle changes. Open communication and a nurturing environment will help your child navigate the challenges of managing a growth disorder, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being.
