Paediatric Nephrologist

Paediatric Nephrologist

A Pediatric Nephrologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats kidney and urinary tract disorders in children, from infancy to adolescence. They focus on managing acute and chronic kidney diseases, electrolyte imbalances, hypertension, and congenital kidney abnormalities. Pediatric nephrologists use advanced diagnostic tests, medications, dietary management, and dialysis to treat kidney-related conditions. In severe cases, they may work with transplant specialists for kidney transplantation. They collaborate with pediatricians, urologists, dietitians, and genetic specialists to provide comprehensive care. Since kidney disorders can impact growth and development, early diagnosis and long-term management are crucial in improving children's quality of life.
