The program combines inpatient and outpatient Pediatric Nephrology, acute and chronic dialysis, CRRT, and pediatric kidney transplantation within a multidisciplinary children's hospital environment. The division works closely with Pediatric Urology and Transplant Surgery and has dedicated dialysis and transplant resources.

Clinical Practice

This is a comprehensive Pediatric Nephrology program—not a general pediatric consult assignment.

The division treats children with conditions including:

• Acute and chronic kidney disease
• Kidney failure
• Hypertension
• Nephrotic syndrome
• Lupus nephritis
• Kidney stones
• Dialysis-dependent renal disease
• Pediatric kidney transplantation

The program provides both inpatient and outpatient care and works collaboratively with Pediatric Urology, Transplant Surgery, and other pediatric specialties.

Dialysis & Renal Replacement Therapy

Physicians should be comfortable supporting a sophisticated pediatric renal replacement program.

Clinical capabilities include:

• Acute and chronic hemodialysis
• Acute and chronic peritoneal dialysis
• Continuous renal replacement therapy
• Inpatient dialysis
• Outpatient hemodialysis
• Home peritoneal dialysis support

The program maintains dedicated pediatric peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis resources, including family training, nutrition and social-service support.

The children's hospital also reports specialized capability with CARPEDIEM , a renal replacement platform designed for very small pediatric patients, and states that it was only the second U.S. hospital trained and proficient in its use.

Pediatric Kidney Transplant Program

The Pediatric Nephrology team works in conjunction with transplant specialists to support children throughout the kidney transplant continuum.

The program includes coordination of:

• Pre-transplant renal management
• Dialysis while awaiting transplantation
• Kidney transplantation
• Post-transplant and long-term renal care

The pediatric program works with the Division of Solid Organ Transplantation at the adjoining academic medical center, which is recognized as a UNOS transplant center .

Multidisciplinary Support

This is an established Pediatric Nephrology division with pediatric nephrologists, an advanced practice nurse, registered nurses, a registered dietitian, and social work support.

The broader children's hospital provides access to an extensive pediatric specialty network including Critical Care, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Hospital Medicine, Infectious Disease, Neurology, Pulmonology, Rheumatology, Pediatric Surgery, Urology, and Transplant Surgery.
