Pediatric Nephrology

Pediatric nephrology is a specialized field within pediatrics that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney-related issues in children. This includes conditions like urinary tract infections, nephrotic syndrome, and kidney stones. Pediatric nephrologists work with young patients and their families to manage chronic kidney diseases, monitor kidney function, and provide care for children who may need dialysis or transplants. Their goal is to ensure that children maintain healthy kidneys and good overall health, addressing both medical and developmental needs as they grow.
