Endocrine Neuromuscular Program
What is Endocrine Neuromuscular Program?
The Endocrine Neuromuscular Program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is a specialty service for patients treated for muscle disorders at the Neuromuscular Comprehensive Care Center. Your child's treatments (such as steroid therapy) to manage the neuromuscular diagnosis 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 A7South on Thursday afternoons as a part of your child's neuromuscular appointment.
