About the department
The Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf provides a full range of services for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases in newborns, infants, young children, and adolescents. A special feature of the department is its unique competence in the treatment of rare and complex pathologies in young patients. The medical facility provides medical care for children with gastrointestinal diseases, liver pathologies, immunodeficiency disorders, kidney and lung diseases, rheumatic diseases, metabolic disorders, and pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous system. A highly professional medical team of 75 doctors works with young patients. The specialists have many effective therapeutic methods at their disposal. Each child receives a personalized treatment regimen, which is developed taking into account the diagnosis, stage of the pathological process, general health condition, and age. In total, more than 23,000 young patients are treated in the department each year, about 17,700 of them on an outpatient basis. The doctors get along well with the children and support the young patients and their parents in every possible way on their way to recovery. The department has a pleasant and friendly atmosphere that ensures maximum comfort for the child. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ania Muntau.
The department regularly consults young patients with diseases of the digestive system, liver conditions, and nutritional disorders. Diagnosis includes a clinical examination, laboratory tests, and ultrasound scans. When clinically indicated, the doctors of the department perform endoscopic examinations. Highly qualified gastroenterologists with extensive clinical experience take care of children's health. They work hand in hand with pediatric surgeons, radiologists, nutritionists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive medical care. In most cases, young patients receive drug treatment. The availability of advanced equipment in the department allows for a wide range of endoscopic therapeutic procedures, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy, polypectomy, balloon enteroscopy, endoscopic mucosal resection, and others. Endoscopy is a second-line treatment used in cases where drug therapy and diet therapy do not work.
Diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract complement the therapeutic options of the department. The department's pediatric nephrologists focus on young patients with acute and chronic kidney failure, glomerulopathies, and tubulopathies. If kidney pathology is suspected, the young patient undergoes a comprehensive diagnosis, including laboratory tests and ultrasound scans. A personalized treatment regime is then elaborated based on the use of medications to normalize kidney function. Children with chronic kidney failure often require renal replacement therapy (dialysis): the department has a special dialysis unit for peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. In complex cases, nephrologists work with pediatric surgeons and transplant surgeons to evaluate the possibility of kidney transplantation. Young patients with acute kidney failure can be treated with hemofiltration and plasmapheresis.
The department's team of pediatric neurologists treats newborns, young children, and adolescents with diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Common conditions treated include cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, chronic headaches, and traumatic brain injuries. The department is one of the few medical institutions in Germany that has many years of experience in treating children with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and leukodystrophy, which are degenerative diseases of the brain. In addition, the department operates a specialized Center for Neuromuscular Diseases with certification of the German Muscle Society (DGM). The specialists have at their disposal all modern diagnostic methods for assessing the state of the nervous system: video-EEG monitoring, electrophysiological studies, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and genetic testing, including exome sequencing. Treatment includes modern medications, botulinum toxin injection therapy, diet therapy, and other therapeutic measures. If the child requires surgery, possible options are discussed with neurosurgeons.
