Endocrinology / Metabolism
About the Division
The Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of Alberta and Stollery Children's Hospital provides assessment, treatment, and education for infants, children and teenagers with any endocrine disorder.
These conditions often result from a deficiency or excess of hormones secreted by the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas or gonads and may affect growth, sexual and pubertal development, calcium regulation and bone health, blood sugar regulation, and/or cholesterol or lipid metabolism.
