Endocrine Fanconi Anemia (FA) Program
What is Endocrine Fanconi Anemia (FA) Program?
The Endocrine Fanconi Anemia program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is one of the specialty services available to patients being treated at the Fanconi Anemia Comprehensive Care Center. Fanconi anemia and its treatments (androgens, bone marrow transplant, and steroid therapy) can affect how the endocrine glands work.
The endocrinologist will watch for changes like diabetes, slow growth, low thyroid function, early or late puberty, weight gain, and low bone mineral. Treating problems early will help your child have the best health outcome.
The endocrine team will suggest a plan of care based on your child's exam and testing. Clinic appointments are scheduled on Multi Practice Center C-2 on Friday mornings as a part of your child's Fanconi appointment.
