What Is Pediatric Nephrology?

Pediatric nephrology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating kidney and urinary tract problems in infants, children, and adolescents. These conditions may be congenital (present from birth), acquired due to infections, immune responses, or developmental.

Early identification and treatment are essential, as even mild kidney dysfunction in children can lead to long-term complications if overlooked.

Common Kidney Conditions in Children

At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, we diagnose and manage a wide range of kidney-related issues in children, including:

• Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT): Structural issues present from birth that can impair kidney function.
• Nephrotic Syndrome: A condition causing excess protein loss in urine, leading to swelling; often treatable with medication.
• Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV): A blockage in the male urethra causing urine flow issues and potential kidney damage.
• Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Multiple infections may signal deeper problems like reflux or urinary obstruction.
• Renal Tubular Disorders: Problems in the kidney tubules causing imbalances, growth delays, or rickets.
• Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units, often presenting with blood in urine or high blood pressure.
• Pediatric Kidney Stones: Though rare, kidney stones can cause severe discomfort and infections if left untreated.

Managing Kidney Failure in Children

For children with severe or chronic kidney disease, early intervention is vital. Dr. Shiva Kumar offers comprehensive solutions, including:

• Pediatric Dialysis: Child-specific peritoneal and hemodialysis options in a comfortable and monitored environment.
• Kidney Transplant Evaluation: When necessary, a transplant may be advised. We conduct thorough evaluations and provide post-operative follow-up care.
• Nutritional Support: Customized dietary plans are created to support healthy growth and manage kidney function effectively.
