ÿ Interpretation of medical screening:
Your BMI is > 85% which is placing you at risk for certain medical conditions.
Currently your screening tests are all normal. We recommend continued follow up in the Healthy Habits Clinic to work on managing your weight to decrease the risk of developing future weight related medical problems.
Your thyroid function tests are consistent with possible hypothyroidism. You should have your thyroid function tests repeated when you come back for your follow up visit. A consult has been placed to pediatric endocrinology to further investigate this concern.
Your complete blood count shows that you are slightly anemic. I would recommend starting a daily iron supplement and repeating labs in 3 three months.
Your history and physical exam suggest obstructive sleep apnea. A consult will be placed to pediatric pulmonology for further evaluation.
Your vitamin D level is low. Your level is consistent with vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. I would recommend a vitamin D and calcium supplement taken twice a day with meals. In addition I would recommend a weekly high dose vitamin D regimen for the first 6 weeks of therapy. Your vitamin D levels should be repeated in 3 months.
Based on the history you provided of irregular periods and your physical examination or elevated testosterone levels, the possibility of polycystic ovarian syndrome should be investigated further. You have been referred to pediatric endocrinology.
Your blood pressure is elevated for your age. Your blood pressure will continue to be monitored at your follow up visits
Your blood sugar level/Hgb A1c indicates that you have impaired glucose tolerance/pre-diabetes. You have been referred to Pediatric endocrinology for further evaluation of this concern.
Your liver function tests are elevated. This is associated with fat deposits in your liver (non –alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD) A consult has been placed to pediatric gastroenterology for further evaluation of this condition.
Your cholesterol levels are elevated.
The first line of treatment for this/these medical condition is weight loss. Continued participation in the Healthy Habits clinic with a goal of weight reduction equal to 10% of your current body weight is recommended.
Your lab tests will be repeated in 6 months.
