Objective: Microalbuminuria is usually the first microvascular complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We aimed to identify its frequency, time of occurrence and related risk factors.Methods: Clinical reports of 201 children followed in our institution were retrospectively analysed (diabetes duration 3.8±3.6 years, age at diagnosis 8.1±3.7 years, HbA1c value 9.0±1.7%). Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version.21 for Wi...

Introduction: Nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) is caused by reduced 21-hydroxylase activity, leading to excessive adrenal androgens and premature pubarche (PP); idiopathic PP (IPP) is its main differential diagnosis. The gold standard for the differential diagnosis is ACTH stimulation test (ST); this test also estimates the adrenal cortisol reserve in NCCAH patients.Objectives: To compare the clinical characteristics and baseline hormo...

Obesity and thyroid function in children – cross-sectional study.Background: Obesity in children has been increasing dramatically, with a significant increase in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases risk. The role of thyroid dysfunction has been extensively analyzed in obese adults, but to a limited extent in children.Aims: To estimate the prevalence of hyperthyrotropinemia in obese children and to analyze the influence of BM...

Introduction: Calcium replacement after Thyroid surgery has been changing along times. The aim for this replacement is to avoid hypocalcaemia effects after thyroid surgery but not all the patients seem to need it. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has a short half-life after its release into the bloodstream, making it a good marker of calcium metabolism in short time after surgery.Method: Prospective study of Endocrine Surgery Multidisciplinary group of one Cent...

Introduction: Adequate glycaemic, along with other cardiovascular risk factor control in type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and its beneficial impact on subclinical inflammation is associated with better microvascular outcomes.Objectives: To analyse the correlation between glycaemic control adequacy and systemic inflammatory markers, renal disease progression and cardiovascular risk factors.Material and methods: Retrospective cohort observatio...
