The Department of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology at the UKBB deals with all hormonal disorders in children and adolescents. The interdisciplinary team is mainly active in the outpatient sector. The specialists also provide long-term care for chronically ill children and adolescents with growth and puberty disorders, thyroid disorders and diabetes mellitus.
Modern therapies and technologies, such as insulin pumps and continuous blood glucose monitoring systems, are increasingly being used to treat diabetes. Patients with primary or secondary and sometimes very rare hormone-related diseases are also treated in the inpatient area.
Focal points:
The interdisciplinary team of specialists provides comprehensive and competent patient care. There is close networking with adolescent medicine, child and adolescent psychology as well as nutritional and diabetes counselling. The UKBB also cooperates closely with colleagues in paediatric radiology, human genetics and laboratory medicine. Specialists are available 24 hours a day.
