Pediatric Renal Failure

Pediatric renal failure refers to a condition in children where the kidneys are unable to effectively filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. This can lead to a buildup of toxins, affecting the body’s overall health. Causes may include congenital abnormalities, infections, or other diseases. Symptoms can include swelling, decreased urination, fatigue, and high blood pressure. Management often involves medications, dietary changes, and in severe cases, dialysis or kidney transplantation. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the best outcomes, as the kidneys play a vital role in maintaining the body’s balance and health.
