Pediatric Nephrology

Pediatric Nephrology is a combination of both Pediatrics and Nephrology. Pediatric Nephrology deals with the diagnosis and management of kidney-related complications such as urinary tract infections, acute and chronic renal failure, bowel bladder dysfunction, congenital renal anomalies, nephrotic syndrome, tubular disorders, chronic glomerulonephritis, and systemic severe and progressive renal disorders.

Pediatric Nephrologists treat children from newborn through late adolescence and in youthful adulthood too with numerous infections such as following.

• Dialysis
• Kidney biopsies
• Kidney transplantation
• Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Pediatric nephrologists consist of a team of specialized nurses, nutritionists, and social workers, all committed to the care of children affected with kidney diseases. They closely work with other physicians such as pediatric urologists, pediatric radiologists, and pediatric surgeons.
