What are Common Endocrine Disorders in Pediatrics?
Common endocrine disorders include type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and growth hormone deficiencies. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that affects insulin production, requiring lifelong management. Hypothyroidism results from an underactive thyroid, while hyperthyroidism is due to an overactive thyroid. Growth hormone deficiencies can lead to short stature and delayed puberty.
