Objectives: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the leading cause of mortality in a type 1 diabetic mellitus (T1DM) in pediatric population. The prevalence of the DKA in the developed world ranges from 15% to 61% and in Croatia it is 33 to 36%. In the past few decades in Europe there have been no significant changes in the prevalence of DKA in patients with newly T1DM.

The most common cause is 21-hydroxylase deficiency. There are three forms of CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency: the classic form with salt loss, the classic virilizing and the non-classical form. In pediatric age, CAH is most often manifested by masculinization of the genitals of female newborns, adrenal crisis or premature p...

Objectives: The obesity in population of children and adolescents is one of the biggest public health problems in word today. Early childhood obesity with cluster of metabolic disorders (insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia and hypertension) are risk factor for cardiovascular morbidly and mortality later in life. Catestatin is a Chromogranin A derived peptide which reduces hepatic/plasma lipids, plasma insulin, improves insulin sensitivity, reduces hype...
