Endocrinology of the neonate.
Endocrine disease in the neonate is uncommon, but, if it is not promptly recognised and treated, may be life-threatening or have profound long-term consequences. This article covers congenital adrenal hyperplasia, hypothyroidism, neonatal thyrotoxicosis and hypopituitarism. Other endocrine problems with which the MRCP(Paeds) candidate should be familiar are also listed.
