Pediatric Kidney Transplantation

Pediatric kidney transplantation is a medical procedure where a healthy kidney from a donor is surgically placed into a child whose kidneys are failing. This helps the child’s body filter waste and maintain balance, improving their quality of life. Pediatric nephrologists specialize in treating kidney issues in children and ensure they receive the necessary pre-transplant assessments, find suitable donors, and provide follow-up care post-transplant. The goal is to restore kidney function, allowing the child to grow, thrive, and participate fully in everyday activities, while also managing potential complications and medications for lifelong health.
