MEDICINE TESTS
Growth and development is the best indicator that children are healthy. A healthy child is a child with normal growth. It is very important to monitor the growth and development of the child for a healthy life. There are three main factors that affect growth in children.
These;
- Genetic and Environmental Factors
- Nutrition
- They are hormones.
If any of these fundamental factors fail, it affects the entire growth activity. All children who are shorter or taller, heavier or weaker than their peers should be evaluated first by their families and then by specialist physicians. As a result of this evaluation, specialists need some special drug tests for diagnosis and hormone treatments. The tests are done to reach the most definitive diagnosis without harming our children. Some of the tests are:
- clonidinetest
- LHRHtest
- Synactentest
- L-Dopatesti
CONSTRUCTION OF MEDICATIONAL TESTS
Our medicated tests start with the method that your specialist sees appropriate after the control. Families of our patients should know clearly the height and weight of their children before they come to us. In the test, drug doses are adjusted according to the ratio of height and weight. After the adequate dose is adjusted, the patient’s vascular access is established and his blood is taken for fasting tests. The drugs of our ‘Clonidine’ and ‘Synacten’ tests are injected intravenously. The drugs of our ‘Lhrh’ and ‘L-dopa’ tests are given orally to our patients. Our drugs that need to be given intravenously are injected under the control of our specialist physicians. After the drug is given, the procedure is completed by taking blood to see the hormone responses at the minutes your doctor specifically requests.
The tests have some side effects that are not serious. You can get detailed information about side effects from your doctor before taking your test. We wish you healthy days…
