Overview
- [Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
- [Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
Differentiating X from other Diseases
Growth hormone deficiencyin children must be differentiated from other diseases that cause short stature in children such as:
- Achondroplasia
- Constitutional Growth Delay
- Familial short stature
- Growth Hormone Resistance
- Hyposomatotropism
- Noonan Syndrome
- Panhypopituitarism
- Pediatric Hypothyroidism
- Psychosocial Short Stature
- Short stature accompanying systemic disease
- Short stature from abuse and neglect
- Short stature related to a metabolic abnormality (ie, renal tubular acidosis, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus)
- Short stature related to endocrinopathy (eg, hypothyroidism, Cushing syndrome)
- Silver-Russell Syndrome
- Turner Syndrome
