Health is a vital sign. It is an important thing we monitor at well visits, which is why routine check-ups are important. But when is growth a concern? Tune in to hear me talk with Dr. Sarah Hart-Unger, a Pediatric Endocrinologist, about height and kids. We discuss:
- How percentiles play a role in height
- Average growth trajectory for kids
- Workup if height trajectory is a concern including imaging and labs
- When Growth Hormone is Recommended
