Pediatric Endocrinology

Pediatric endocrinology is a specialized field focused on addressing the unique hormonal concerns that affect children, encompassing issues related to growth, puberty, diabetes, and other conditions associated with hormonal fluctuations. The intricate web of hormones in a child's body plays a pivotal role in orchestrating the functioning of various biological systems. These hormones govern the pace of a child's growth and maturation as they journey through childhood. Deviations within the endocrine system can lead to an array of conditions, including growth disorders, osteoporosis, bone maladies, rickets, childhood obesity, and lipid disorders.

At Rainbow Children’s Hospital, our dedicated Pediatric Endocrinology department is committed to early detection, precise diagnosis, and the treatment of hormonal disorders in children, with a keen focus on averting long-term complications.

How did my child get Type 1 diabetes if no one in our family has it?

The exact cause of Type 1 diabetes is still unknown. Some researchers believe that it is the result of a complicated interaction between the genes, the immune system, and the environment. And yes, the risk of getting type 1 diabetes increases if there is a family history of the disease. But in most cases of type 1 diabetes, no one in the patient’s family had diabetes.
