Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic renal failure. Poor metabolic control exposes the patient to multiple chronic complications, the most serious of which is diabetic nephropathy. This complication is the leading cause of chronic renal failure.Aims: the main aimof our work is to assess the frequency of nephropathy in diabetic children and to study the impact of clinical parameters and metabolic control on microalbuminuri...

Introduction: The prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents is increasing globally, prompting investigations into its effects on various health parameters, including thyroid function.Aim of the Review: To elucidate the relationship between obesity and thyroid function in the pediatric population through a review of recent studies.Review Results: Analysis of studies involvin...

Introduction: This study presents a comparative analysis of the efficacy of sex steroid priming in enhancing growth hormone (GH) responses in short stature children undergoing GH stimulation tests.Methods: A randomized study encompassed a cohort of 40 children, divided into two groups: "With Priming" and "Without Priming". The primed group exhibited a higher peak GH response (6.53) compared to the non...

Introduction: Growth hormone (GH) therapy in Turner Syndrome (TS) affects growth and glucose metabolism.Methods: Reviewed studies focused on GH therapy's impact on glucose metabolism in TS, selecting those with clear outcomes and sufficient sample sizes.Results: The effects of GH therapy on glucose metabolism in TS vary, with studies indicating both potential risks and benefit...

Introduction: Precocious puberty, is the development of sexual characteristics occurring before the age of 8 in girls and 9 years in boys, it is a reason for consultation which is becoming frequent, the etiologies are numerous, it Central forms mainly act by early activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis which can be idiopathic or secondary to congenital or acquired lesions, rarely the peripheral origin can be the cause.<s...

Introduction: Managing pediatric hypothyroidism with thyroxine therapy is crucial for children's growth and development. This presents a synthesized overview of the relationship between thyroxine therapy and growth outcomes in children with congenital and acquired hypothyroidism.Methods: A literature review from 1987 to 2013 was conducted, selecting studies on thyroxine therapy's effects on linear growth, cogni...

Introduction: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) in children and adolescents is a condition characterized by elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels with normal serum free thyroxine (T4). The clinical significance and natural course of SH remain subjects of debate, necessitating a review of the literature to guide management decisions.Methods: This review analyzed ten studies, encompassing both observational cohor...

Background: Thyroxine (T4) is critical in regulating growth and developmental processes. This review synthesizes 20 studies to examine thyroxine's effects on linear growth and development.Methods: A comprehensive review of the last two decades' research articles was conducted, selecting studies that examined thyroxine therapy on growth, development, and metabolic regulation in hypothyroid pediatric populations....

Objective: To synthesize evidence on subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) in children, focusing on prevalence, diagnostics, treatment, and progression.Methods: Review of 28 studies including observational cohorts and clinical trials on pediatric SH.Results: SH in children is associated with increased risks of obesity, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) due to ...

Introduction: Children with type 1 diabetes are at significant risk of developing autoimmune diseases. The international consensus of ISPAD 2022 updated the modalities and pace of screening for the latter. Our goal is to determine the frequency of autoimmune disorders at the time of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in our department.Materials and Methods: This is a screening for autoimmune thyroiditis and celiac disease in a...
