Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism
UK Pediatric Endocrinology
and Metabolism provides consultation services for pediatric inpatients
and outpatients with medical problems related to classical endocrinology,
diabetes mellitus, and other metabolic defects. The faculty and staff
also provides diagnostic confirmation and therapy for infants from Eastern
Kentucky identified by the state-sponsored newborn screening program for
phenylketonuria, galactosemia, and hypothyroidism.
Outpatient clinics operate five days each week, and approximately 2,500
outpatient visits occur each year. Outpatient clinics specifically for
diabetes mellitus are also held in two outlying sites in Eastern Kentucky.
