Özet

Introduction: Burn injury is an important trauma and can cause many hormonal and metabolic changes in the human body. In contrast to the situation with adults, there are inadequate number of studies on children with this condition. Our aim in this study was to determine the changes in the adrenal, thyroid axes and glucose metabolism in the acute and subacute period and relation to the percent total body surface area (TBSA) burned in children with major burn injury.
