What is the endocrine system?

The endocrine system is made up of many of glands that work together in your body to release hormones, that impact how different organs in your body function. If the endocrine system is not functioning properly, it can result in:

  • Adrenal conditions

  • Calcium disorders- too little or too much calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia/hypercalcemia)

  • Diabetes (types 1 and 2)

  • Endocrine disorders during pregnancy

  • Metabolic syndrome

  • Pituitary disease

  • Thyroid disorders (hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism), including Graves’ disease

  • Other endocrine gland conditions

Our pediatric endocrinologist specializes in endocrine growth-related disorders impacting children through young adults. Childhood conditions requiring treatment from a pediatric endocrinologist include:

  • Adrenal disorders, including Addison’s disease

  • Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes

  • Diabetes insipidus, resulting in excessive urination and thirst

  • Diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes)

  • Early or delayed puberty
