FAILURE TO THRIVE: DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP
(Algorithmic Diagnosis of Symptoms and Signs)

The routine diagnostic workup should include a CBC, sedimentation rate, urinalysis, urine culture, chemistry panel, thyroid profile, sweat test, stool for quantitative fat, chest x-ray, and an EKG. Bone age x-rays are often helpful in indicating a growth delay.

If there are focal neurologic signs or a pituitary tumor is suspected, a CT scan of the brain may be necessary. Additional endocrinologic tests include serum growth hormone level before and after exercise, somatomedin-C level, and overnight dexamethasone suppression test. However, an endocrinologist, pediatrician, or orthopedic surgeon should be consulted before ordering expensive diagnostic tests.
