Pediatric Kidney Disorders

Pediatric kidney disorders refer to a range of conditions affecting the kidneys in children. The kidneys are vital organs that filter waste from the blood, balance fluids, and regulate electrolytes. In children, these disorders can include congenital anomalies, infections, and diseases like nephrotic syndrome or glomerulonephritis. They may lead to symptoms such as swelling, abdominal pain, or changes in urine. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and ensure healthy kidney function as the child grows. Pediatric nephrologists specialize in managing these conditions to provide tailored care for young patients.
