Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: OBJECTIVE: ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, affecting 5% to 12% of children worldwide. Evaluating biochemical parameters related to ADHD can provide information about accompanying biological systems. Although there are studies on the effect of medication use on the biochemical status of ADHD, there is a limited number of studies on the biochemical status of drug-naive children with ADHD. Therefore, this study aims to examine routine biochemical parameters in newly diagnosed, drug-naive ADHD children.
