Pediatric Endocrinology Division

Pediatric Endocrinology Division

Welcome to the pediatric endocrinology section of King Abdullah Specialist Children Hospital (KASCH). The Division has a long history of giving quality clinical care to children and teens with a wide range of pediatric endocrinology and diabetes disorders.
It is actively involved in basic, translational, and clinical research. The Division's Fellowship Program ensures that future doctors will have a deep understanding of how to care for patients with a wide range of pediatric endocrinology disorders.

Mission of Pediatric Endocrinology

  • To give our patients and their families endocrine care that is individualized, family-centered, and team-based.

  • To continue our unit's tradition of making clinical and scientific leaders in pediatric endocrinology.
  • To improve research into new technologies and personalized care and to bring these improvements to our patients and their families.

Vision of Pediatric Endocrinology

  • Provide the highest quality of compassionate, comprehensive, coordinated, and value-based health care.

  • Train exemplary clinicians, researchers, educators and leaders.

  • Advance knowledge through cutting-edge and innovative research.

  • Collaborate with our community to advocate for patients and families and to ensure that our care meets our community's needs.

Objectives of Pediatric Endocrinology

  1. To ensure that optimum care is given to all pediatric endocrine patients using available resources and appropriate facilities.

  2. To provide the trainees with the maximum education opportunities and ensure that the graduate is confident and fully responsible endocrinologist.

  3. To promote and support the research activities and to enrich the literature with high quality publications.

Services of Pediatric Endocrinology

The Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes Unit helps kids and their families with diabetes or other endocrine disorders get diagnosed, treated, and learn more about their conditions.

In pediatrics, we see type 1, 2, and monogenic diabetes, variations and abnormalities of normal growth and puberty, overproduction and underproduction of thyroid, adrenal, and antidiuretic hormones, bone health problems, lipid disorders, and obesity.

We also have many subspecialized clinics and services, such as those for pediatric lipid disorders, complex bone, the disorder of sexual differentiation (DSD), diabetes management technology, and long-term cancer survival.

We are a Saudi Council For Health Specialization (SCFHS)-approved pediatric endocrinology and diabetes training center. We have trained many doctors both inside and outside of Saudi Arabia.

Through a dedicated on-call team made up of a consultant, a fellow, and an in-house resident, we offer inpatient and emergency room consultation services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have taken in about 534 patients and had 573 inpatient consultations in 2020. We also offer services in the daycare unit during the day. These include diagnostic tests like GH, ACTH, GnRH, and other endocrine stimulating tests and therapeutic interventions like LDL apheresis, bisphosphonate infusion, and calcium infusions.

More than 8,000 people are scheduled to go to different endocrine and diabetes clinics in 2020, and 564 referrals from other specialties have been sent our way. Every day, at least one team member takes care of general endocrine and diabetes cases at the clinics. In addition, we offer virtual clinic services for certain conditions. So far, more than 1,000 virtual visits have been scheduled through our services.

Subspecialty clinics of Pediatric Endocrinolgy

The subspecialized clinics are designed to manage specific groups of conditions in collaboration with other needed services.


Lipid disorder clinic (every 1st and 3rd Monday per month Am cover by Dr Aldubayee)

For conditions related to primary and secondary lipid disorders and patients under LDL apharesis. This clinic also receives inputs from genetics, pediatric cardiology.


Complex bone clinic (every 2nd and 4th Wednesday per month Pm covered by Dr. Aljuraibah)

For condition affecting bone health, including conditions affecting bone mineral metabolism, primary and secondary osteoporosis and skeletal dysplasia. The clinic also receives input from physiotherapist, occupational therapy, genetics and orthopedic surgery).


Disorder of Sexual Differentiation (DSD) Clinic (every 2nd Monday every month covered by Dr. Aljuraibah)

For complex conditions that may affect development of the genitalia in pediatrics, the clinic also receives input from genetics and pediatric Urology and a wider group of specialist if needed like psychologist and gynecology. This clinic also receive an input from monthly combined Pediatric Endocrine and Urology meetings.


DM Technology clinic (every 4th Tuesday and Wednesday covered by Dr. Almutair and Dr. Babiker)

For pediatric patient on insulin pump therapy with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Currently 150 patients on insulin pump and this clinic receives an input from diabetic educator and dietician if needed.


Cancer survivor clinic (every 3rd Tuesday covered by Dr. Babiker)

This clinic is joint clinic with the hematologist and oncologist, in which we treat and monitor children who are at risk of having endocrine problems as a result of their underlying tumor/ cancer or as result of its treatment

Pediatric Endocrinology Community services

Our unit strives to provide continuous community services. On November 14, the unit celebrates Diabetic Day with patients and their families every year. Many educational and fun activities are held on the first floor in front of the 710 and 711 clinic areas and on the third floor in the playground area, collaborating with other specialties.

There are three virtual educational sessions for patients and their families every year. These sessions cover a wide range of medical conditions, such as how to deal with diabetes when you're sick, how to deal with diabetes during Ramadan (the month of fasting), how to eat healthily, and how to make sure your child grows normally.

The unit just put out a booklet for teachers about dealing with diabetes patients at school and gives teachers tips on how to help medically and emotionally with students with diabetes. Here's a link to the book.


Pediatric Endocrinology Achievements and KPIs

Patient readmission within 30 days of the initial admission (<5%), in 2020 the readmission rate was 2%

4 weeks access to care for the newly referred patients (> 75%), in the 1st quarter of 2021 the access to care to pediatric endocrine and diabetes clinic was 94%

Waiting list in the out-patient clinic aiming to ZERO waiting patient which was accomplished since last half of 2020

The division is part of international clinical trials and leading ongoing prospective regional registry

  • Phase III, Multi-center, double blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ertugliflozin in pediatric participants (ages 10 to 17 years, inclusive) with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

  • Phase III, single-arm, Open-label, International, Multi-center Study to evaluate the efficacy and Safety of Lomitapide in pediatric patients with familial Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) on stable lipid-lowering therapy

  • A 10-year non-interventional registry of patients with FGF-23 related hypophosphatemic rickets and osteomalacia in GCC
