Introduction and aim: Metabolic bone disorders due to calsium and vitamin D deficiency are one of the most frequent extraintestinal symptoms in Celiac disease. In this study it is aimed to evaluate bone mineral density in patients with Celiac disease during diagnose and evaluate the factors related to bone mineral metabolism.Material and Method: The study included 43 children diagnosed as Celiac disease between December 2015 and December 2017. Clinical, ...

Aim: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic disease and requires lifelong care and management. Carbohydrate (CHO) counting is one of the meal planning methods that can be preferred in the treatment of diabetes. We aimed to investigate the effect of carbohydrate counting on the nutritional habits and metabolic control of adolescents with Type 1 DM.Subjects and Method: Patients with Type 1DM diagnosis who applied to our Pediatric End...

Introduction: The activation of the GnRH pulse generator before the age of 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys results in central precocious puberty (CPP). The majority of cases of CPP in girls are defined as idiopathic since no organic lesion is found, whereas intracranial lesions are common in boys with CPP. Previous studies have shown that the height of the pituitary gland in the CPP cases is higher than in the normal children. We aimed to evaluate the pit...

Introduction: T1DM is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality owing to its chronic microvascular and macrovascular complications. Therefore, it is important to determine the factors that may affect the follow-up for diabetes. Some studies conducted on adults with diabetes have suggested that health literacy is an important parameter in the follow-up of diabetes. However, few studies have examined the literacy level of parents of children with type 1 diabete...

Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is a disorder usually seen in adults and rarely in childhood.Case: A 14 years and 7 months old girl complaining of constipation applied to pediatric gastroenterology department was consultant to pediatric endocrinology department due to increased plasma calcium levels. She was healthy previously and had no vitamin D usage. In her physical exam; body weight: 53.8kg (-0.12 SD), height: 153,5cm (-1.32 SD), ...

Introduction: Gonadotropin releasing hormone analogs(GnRHa) have been used safely for many years in the treatment of central precocious puberty(CPP).Although rare; pain, swelling, erythema at the injection site are known local side effects in patients receiving GnRHa treatment and are temporary.Sterile abscess(SA) development is also one of the rare local side effects.We presented three cases of treatment failure due to the development of SA after GnRHa therap...

Introduction: 11-beta hydroxylase deficiency(11β-OHaseD) is the second frequent congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) form. This study aimed to determine demographic and genetic characteristics and final height, to evaluate the long term clinical follow-up of children&/adolescents with 11β-OHaseD.Material and Methods: The study is designed as a multicenter, national, retrospective. 60 cases from 11 Pediatric ...

Obesity is a common public health problem. Secondary complications are increasing with the increase in the prevalence of obesity. Studies on the effect of obesity on the urinary system in children continue and are limited. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between childhood obesity and lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) with metabolic and anthropometric measures. 400 obese children between 6 and 18 years of age who had a body mass index ≥95 per...

Objective: According to the etiology of hyperparathyroidism, it is divided into primer and secondary (uremic). It usually develops due to CaSR mutation in the infancy period. On the other hand, it usually emerges secondary to a parathyroid adenoma in adolescents. Parathyroid adenomas seen in childhood are commonly associated with familial multiple neoplasia syndromes (MEN). Patients may present with bone pain, proximal myopathy, fractures, renal stone, pancreatitis or they can...

Background: Type 2 diabetes is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by the defective of insulin, which can not progressively compensate for insulin resistance, due to the influence of environmental factors on the basis of genetic susceptibility. Hyperglycemia, which starts with insulin resistance, is thought to show toxic effects (glucotoxicity) on β cells and ultimately impairs beta cell function., Although many factors play a role in etiology, obesity is the most comm...
