Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Incheon Himchan General Hospital, revealed the recent status of a patient who was diagnosed with low kidney and treated on TV Chosun 'Kidentime 2', which was newly returned in more than a year, announcing the importance of diagnosis, examination, and treatment.

As the first story of 'Kiden Time 2', which premiered on August 10, the recent status of Lee Nam-kyu (18), a high school student who was struggling with his height as an elementary school student, which was the topic of the past, was revealed. In the last broadcast, he was only 134 centimeters tall even though he was a high school student, which caused viewers to feel sorry. Through this broadcast, it was revealed that he has grown about 11cm in height over the past year, has grown wildly, and his recent puberty has begun, and his voice has changed and his appearance has become more masculine.

Lee Nam-gyu was living in a brighter school life as his confidence increased due to his height growth. During class, I sat in the right position and concentrated, and my friendship improved. After returning home, I was able to see him trying to grow his height, such as stretching to correct scoliosis, steady exercise using dumbbells, and eating with a healthy diet.

On this day's broadcast, Lee Nam-gyu's current condition was checked through various growth tests such as physical measurement, imaging tests, blood collection and hormone tests, and endocrine and urology tests. The diagnosis of specialists in each field, such as rehabilitation medicine, endocrine medicine, and urinary medicine, suggested that the growth period is progressing evenly, so if you manage it as it is now and continue to receive growth hormone treatment, you can grow taller.

Lee Nam-gyu's bone age is younger than his peers and the growth plate is not closed, so the possibility of further growth is expected to be high. In particular, it was expected that the growth rate would be large as it is currently undergoing puberty due to secondary sexual characteristics.

Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Incheon Himchan General Hospital, said, `Lee Nam-kyu is still short compared to his peers, but he has grown steadily for about a year and his bone age is still young, so if he works hard on solutions with growth hormone treatment, there is enough opportunity to grow up late,' and emphasized, `If your child is suspected of having a low height, it is important to quickly examine it and receive diagnosis and treatment without missing the timing.'

Every Saturday at 12 p.m., 'Kidentime2' is a medical human talk show that provides correct information on height growth and solutions for healthy growth in an entertainment way through Noso's Hidden Key Find Project (老少). Comedian Jung Joon-ha, announcer Jung Da-eun, chairman of the Barun Growth Clinic at Incheon Himchan General Hospital Park Hye-young, and director of Bupyeong Himchan Hospital Kim Yoo-geun will diagnose problems based on the stories and daily lives of the participants every week and present clear solutions to present special know-how to protect children's healthy growth and elderly joint health.
