Children's growth deficiency – diagnostics package

Children's growth deficiency – diagnostics package

We mark our child's height on the door frame. Seeing the lines go up is fun for our child, and for us it is proof that he/she is growing. Sometimes, however, this line moves very slowly. If your child seems to be growing slower than his peers, you might want to find out why.

Our screening tests will help diagnose your child and exclude:

• hormonal disorders: deficiency of growth hormone, thyroid hormones, disorders of steroid hormones,
• metabolic disorders,
• diseases of the digestive tract: malabsorption syndrome, food allergies and intolerances, deficiencies of essential nutrients,
• infectious causes: chronic parasitic, bacterial or viral infections.

To use the services in the Package, you must have a referral from a doctor (endocrinologist or paediatrician). In the absence of such a referral, prior consultation with a paediatrician at Medicover Hospital will be necessary - such a visit is additionally payable in accordance with the current price list.

In order to quickly solve your child's health problems without exposing them to unnecessary stress, book an appointment for diagnostic tests at our hospital. You can book an appointment with a specialist by calling 500 900 900.

The price of the package includes tests, consultations and the child's 24-hour stay in the ward.

Doctors managing the diagnostic program: Dr Radosław Suchner; Dr Anita Rajchel-Robinet.

The Package is carried out in children from 6 years of age until the end of the growth period.
