The diagnosis of secondary conditions in pediatric patients generally involves a combination of:
- Medical History: A detailed medical history helps to identify the primary condition and any subsequent secondary symptoms. - Physical Examination: Thorough physical evaluations can reveal signs indicative of secondary diseases. - Laboratory Tests: Blood tests, urine tests, and other specific diagnostic tests are essential to confirm secondary conditions. - Imaging Studies: Techniques like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans can help in diagnosing secondary complications, particularly in cases involving internal organs or structural abnormalities.
