Welcome to Pediatric Endocrinology at FirstMed in Budapest
FirstMed’s Pediatric Endocrinology practice focuses on the impact of the endocrine system on children’s health, including growth, metabolism, and sexual development. Our pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Andrea Luczay, specializes in diagnosing and treating hormone imbalances that mainly affect the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands, as well as childhood-onset diabetes.
Key signs and symptoms that can relate to an endocrine disorder
We advise parents to be watchful for symptoms that may suggest an endocrine disorder in their children, including:
- Unusual fatigue,
- Sudden weight changes,
- Abnormal thirst or hunger,
- Variations in heart rate or blood pressure.
Should any of these symptoms appear in your child, consult our medical team to determine if there is an underlying endocrine disorder causing these symptoms.
To ensure thoroughly coordinated care, a consultation with our endocrinologist requires a medical referral.
Comprehensive care for your child
Our Pediatric Endocrinology services are specially designed to manage:
- growth disorders,Â
- unusual puberty-related issues and,Â
- primarily, type 1 diabetes in children.Â
Our aim is to simplify diabetes management, make life easier for children and their families, and offer comprehensive care for a broad spectrum of endocrine diseases in children.
What to expect during your child's endocrinology consultation
The visit to our pediatric endocrinologist typically involves:
- Collecting medical history: A detailed review of your child’s medical history.
- Examination: A thorough physical examination, possibly including blood tests and ultrasound scans, performed in our clinic.
- Customized treatment: A treatment plan specifically designed based on the findings.
Collaborative approach for holistic care
At FirstMed, we take a collaborative approach to ensure your child receives all-encompassing and holistic care. Our pediatric endocrinologist works closely with our general practitioners and pediatricians to provide personalized and effective treatment.
