Abstract:
The incidence of diabetes and hyperlipidemia are increasing at rapid rates in children. These conditions are associated with increased risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications causing major morbidity and mortality later in life. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the lifelong risk of complications from these diseases, exemplifying the importance of screening in the pediatric population. The following article presents a summary of the current guidelines for diabetes and hyperlipidemia screening in pediatric patients.
