Hormonelle Wachstumsstörungen

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Molekularen Medizin ((HDBMOLEK,volume 7))

Zusammenfassung

Eine kindliche Wachstumsstörung kann das erste und z. T. auch das einzige Symptom einer Vielzahl von Krankheiten sein. Dementsprechend komplex gestaltet sich oft die Diagnostik eines pathologischen Wachstums bei einem Kind. Untersuchungen auf hormonelle Störungen bei einem Kleinwuchs stellen daher nur eine Facette in einem großen Spektrum diagnostischer Maßnahmen dar, die bei der Ursachensuche zur Anwendung gelangen. Chronisch entzündliche Darmerkrankungen wie der Morbus Crohn oder chronische Malabsorptions- und Malassimilationsyndrome (Zöliakie) sind typische Beispiele nicht hormoneller Erkrankungen, die in einem frühen Erkrankungsstadium oder bei milder Ausprßgung bei dem betroffenen Kind allein durch eine Wachstumsstörung auffallen können. Zudem reagieren sßmtliche Hormonregelkreise beim Kind sensibel auf das Vorliegen somatischer oder psychischer Störungen.
