Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism SERS assess, investigate and treat infants, children and adolescents with endocrine problems including growth disorders, phosphate disorders (e.g. rickets), pubertal disorders, hirsutism, thyroid disorders, diabetes mellitus (type 1 and 2 through the diabetes clinic), lipid disorders and obesity (using these clinics).
In general, genetic metabolic diseases are caused by genetic defects resulting from the absence or dysfunction of the enzymes needed for either step of a metabolic process in the cell.
A native of gout, hyperuricemia Gout is a metabolic disease. It is due to the presence of too much uric acid in hyperuricemia blood donation, that is to say, an abnormal increase in the concentration of uric acid like blood. The causes of the excess of uric acid in the blood are varied: Some diseases (renal, hematologic …), drugs (diuretics, cytotoxic …), special situations (fasting, muscle power …), causing a reduction in the elimination of uric acid or increased synthesis. Elsewhere, there is a defect which enzyme is responsible for excess uric acid. Uric acid is not metabolized and accumulates enough. Alcohol and excess food can promote the development of gout by oversupply. Familial cases are finally possible.
Pediatrics
Pediatrics is a specialized branch of medicine that studies the psycho-motor and physiological of normal children, and any disease that is related (childhood illness) from birth to post-pubertal period when he becomes an adult. It is the treatment of children, the child is defined in law as any subject under the age of 18 years (Article 1 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child). A physician specializing in pediatrics is called the pediatrician.
Pediatric medicine is very different from medicine for adults as a child has body aimed at developing and continuing transformation. Early diagnosis is here more than elsewhere, vital to the future health of the child and determining the prognosis.
