[Hormonal diagnosis of endocrinopathies in the early neonatal period]
Abstract:
Based on the summarization of the results of hormonal examination of the newborn during the early neonatal period it has been revealed that early diagnosis of endocrinopathies can only be made with the use of the laboratory measurements of the concentrations of the appropriate hormones. For early diagnosis of congenital endocrine diseases the screening made according to the specific hormonal test is the most effective approach. It is necessary to differentiate between alterations associated with congenital endocrine diseases and transitory hormonal reactions due to the derangement of the child's status in the ante-, intra- or postnatal periods.
