Pediatric Nephrology
The division of nephrology provides comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services for children with all types of renal disease including hypertension, urinary tract infections, acute and chronic glomerulonephritis and renal failure. Children with chronic renal failure and end-stage renal disease are treated by a high-skilled team offering hemodialysis, outpatient peritoneal dialysis and renal transplant. Notably, the division of nephrology has established the pediatric hypertension program and pediatric kidney stone clinic.
