The pancreas plays a vital role in digestion and blood sugar control. In children, pancreatic disorders can affect growth, nutrition, and overall health if not diagnosed and managed promptly. Our Pediatric Pancreatic Care service focuses on the prevention, early detection, and treatment of pancreatic diseases in infants, children, and adolescents with a compassionate and expert-driven approach.
We specialize in providing comprehensive care for a wide range of pancreatic conditions — from acute inflammation to chronic disorders. With advanced training in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), London, UK, we bring international expertise and experience to every child’s care journey.
Pancreatic problems in children can be caused by infections, metabolic issues, genetic factors, or nutritional imbalances. Early recognition and appropriate management are essential to prevent long-term complications such as malnutrition or diabetes. Our goal is to provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment with minimal discomfort to the child.
The pancreas is central to digestion and energy metabolism. Even mild dysfunction can lead to digestive distress, nutrient loss, and fatigue in children. With timely diagnosis and targeted therapy, pancreatic diseases can be effectively controlled, helping children regain strength, appetite, and vitality. Our specialized care ensures your child receives treatment that is safe, gentle, and effective.
We understand that pancreatic disorders can be challenging for both children and parents. Our approach is family-centered — keeping parents informed and involved in every stage of care. We provide dietary guidance, long-term management plans, and regular monitoring to ensure the best possible outcomes for your child’s digestive health.
Pediatric Pancreatic Care is not just about managing symptoms — it’s about restoring comfort, nutrition, and confidence in every young patient. With our advanced training, diagnostic precision, and compassionate approach, we are dedicated to helping children lead healthy, active, and happy lives free from digestive discomfort.
The pancreas helps with digestion by releasing enzymes and also regulates blood sugar levels through hormone production. A healthy pancreas is essential for proper nutrition and growth in children.
Children can develop conditions such as acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic enzyme deficiency, cystic fibrosis–related pancreatic issues, or structural abnormalities affecting digestion and nutrition.
Common symptoms include recurrent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, greasy or foul-smelling stools, and poor weight gain. If these symptoms persist, it’s important to consult a pediatric gastroenterologist.
Diagnosis involves blood tests for pancreatic enzymes, ultrasound or MRI imaging, stool tests for enzyme levels, and sometimes endoscopic evaluation. All tests are done safely and comfortably for children.
Yes. Many pancreatic disorders are treatable with medications, enzyme supplements, dietary changes, and proper monitoring. Chronic conditions may require ongoing care to ensure normal growth and nutrition.
Ensure a balanced diet, regular hydration, and follow medical advice carefully. Avoid giving unnecessary medications and encourage timely follow-ups to monitor your child’s digestion and nutritional status.
