Procedures / Dynamic Studies
Advanced Procedures and Dynamic Studies in Pediatric Endocrinology
In our Pediatric Endocrinology department at Sparsh Children’s Hospital, we utilize advanced procedures and dynamic studies to provide precise diagnoses and tailor treatment plans for children with endocrine conditions. Our team of specialized pediatric endocrinologists is skilled in performing a range of tests to assess hormonal balance and ensure the best possible care for your child.
Procedures and Dynamic Studies We Perform:
Growth Hormone Stimulation
To evaluate growth-related concerns, we conduct growth hormone stimulation tests, which help determine the effectiveness of growth hormone production and potential treatment options.
HCG Stimulation Test
This test assesses the function of the testes or ovaries by stimulating them with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy.
GNRH Stimulation Test
Used to diagnose disorders of puberty, the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GNRH) stimulation test evaluates the release of gonadotropins, which are essential for sexual development.
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
For children with concerns related to blood glucose regulation, this test helps diagnose diabetes and assess insulin sensitivity, guiding effective management strategies.
Hormonal Studies
Our team conducts comprehensive hormonal studies to evaluate the balance of various hormones in the body, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders.
These procedures and dynamic studies are vital tools in our diagnostic toolkit, allowing us to gain valuable insights into your child’s hormonal health. Sparsh Children’s Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a caring, child-friendly environment to ensure that your child feels comfortable and supported throughout the testing process.
