Conditions Treated

Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters or kidneys, increasing the risk of kidney infections and long-term kidney damage if untreated.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, or urethra. Early detection and treatment are essential to prevent complications.

Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. Early recognition and proper management are crucial for healthy growth and development.

Puberty Disorders (Early or Delayed Puberty)

Puberty disorders involve either early or delayed onset of puberty, affecting a child’s physical growth and emotional development. Early recognition and treatment help ensure healthy development.
