Nephrology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing ad treating kidney-related diseases and disorders in children. A pediatric nephrologist is a physician with advanced training in caring for children with conditions that affect kidney function, such as kidney stones, nephrotic syndrome, congenital abnormalities, and those requiring dialysis.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, located just below the ribcage on either side of the spine. Each kidney is connected to the bladder by a thin tube called a ureter. The kidneys are responsible for helping filter waste and toxins from the blood, regulating fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and removing excess water from the body through urine.
Our team of board-certified Pediatric Nephrologists and specially-trained support staff are dedicated to delivering expert. compassionate care to children with kidney conditions. Working closely with other specialties, our team provides comprehensive, personalized treatment plans to help every child achieve the best possible outcome.
