It is best to have a separate pediatric endocrinology department in order to conduct systematic endocrine examination for children. If a hospital does not have a pediatric endocrinology department, it can also go to the pediatric health department. What do parents of children with dwarfism need to know about their children before consultation? During the consultation, the following information should be explained to the attending doctor: the mother’s pregnancy; the time when the child was found to be short; the child’s sex/age/height/weight; the child’s height/weight at birth; the change in height in the past year; the child’s intelligence; the parents’ height; the current development of sexual characteristics; any family history of tumors, diabetes, genetic diseases, etc.; previous medical consultations and relevant test results, etc. (Be sure to Bring the child’s case and previous test results). What tests are needed for children with short stature? There are many causes of dwarfism, and in order to treat it, we must find out the cause and make a correct diagnosis, and then consider how to treat it. In order to find out the cause of the disease, we need to firstly ask the medical history, physical examination and laboratory test, and based on the detailed information and laboratory results, we will analyze and judge the cause of children’s dwarfism and finally determine the treatment plan. Parents of children with short stature should provide the following information when they visit the hospital: 1. the condition of the baby at birth, whether the baby was born in difficulty, asphyxia, what kind of delivery method was used, height and weight at birth, etc. 2. 2. The annual rate of height growth; shoes should be removed for the measurement. 3.Family members’ height and developmental age, whether there are genetic diseases. 4.Intellectual development, the presence of chronic hepatitis, kidney disease and asthma. 5, whether the child has used drugs that affect growth and development, such as prednisone (prednisone), dexamethasone and other glucocorticoids. When the child arrives at the hospital, the first thing to do is to take an X-ray of the left wrist metacarpal finger to understand the age of the bone, determine the growth of the child’s bones, the degree of epiphyseal closure and growth potential. Secondly, blood and urine tests, liver and kidney functions, calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase will be done, and thirdly, growth hormone stimulation tests (thyroxine, growth factor levels, etc.) will be performed. For girls, blood chromosomes will also be checked to determine if the child has congenital ovarian hypoplasia, and other special tests related to short stature should be recommended by the treating doctor. Through these tests, the doctor can make a clear diagnosis of the cause of the child’s short stature and formulate a reasonable treatment plan.
