    What is Pediatric Nephrology?

    What is Pediatric Nephrology?

    Pediatric nephrology is a medical subspecialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases in infants, children, and adolescents. These may include both acute and chronic conditions affecting the kidneys, urinary tract, and its related metabolic functions.
    Children’s kidneys are not just smaller versions of adult kidneys. The kidneys in children are still developing and respond differently to illnesses, medications, and treatments.
    Pediatric nephrologists are trained in both, pediatrics and nephrology, to provide age-appropriate care to children, which is important for achieving optimal long-term outcomes.

    When to See a Pediatric Nephrologist?

    Timely referral to a pediatric nephrologist can prevent complications and preserve kidney function. You should consider consulting a pediatric nephrologist if your child experiences one or more of the following symptoms:
    • Swelling in the face, abdomen, or legs (edema)
    • Persistent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
    • High blood pressure (hypertension)
    • Blood in urine (hematuria) or protein in urine (proteinuria)
    • Frequent urination, painful urination, or urinary incontinence
      Poor growth or weight gain
    • Family history of kidney disease

    Pediatricians or family doctors commonly refer children with abnormal urine test results, kidney stones, or recurrent UTIs to pediatric nephrologists for further evaluation.

    Timely evaluation by SGVP Holistic Hospital’s team ensures early intervention and prevents complications like kidney damage, chronic infections, or impaired fertility in children.

    Conditions Treated in Pediatric Nephrology

    Conditions Treated in Pediatric Nephrology

    At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our experienced pediatric nephrologist in Ahmedabad helps treat the following conditions seen in children:
    • Nephrotic Syndrome: A condition characterized by excess protein loss in the urine, leading to swelling and risk of infections.
    • Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units, often following infections.
    • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Especially recurrent or complicated UTIs needing further investigation.
    • Congenital Kidney Abnormalities: Such as hydronephrosis, multicystic kidney disease, or posterior urethral valves.
    • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Long-term kidney impairment requiring close monitoring and intervention.
    • Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Sudden decline in kidney function due to infections, dehydration, or medications.
    • Hypertension in Children: Often secondary to renal problems and needs specialized evaluation.
    • Renal Tubular Disorders: Affecting the kidney’s ability to manage electrolytes and acids.
    • Kidney Stones (Pediatric Urolithiasis): Increasingly common and require dietary as well as metabolic evaluation.
    • Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR): A condition in which urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys.

    Diagnostic Tests in Pediatric Nephrology

    Accurate and early diagnosis of kidney problems ensures timely intervention and prevention of long-term complications. Some common diagnostic tests that may be recommended in pediatric nephrology include:
    • Urinalysis and Urine Culture: To detect infections, protein, or blood in urine.
    • Blood Tests: For kidney function (creatinine, BUN), electrolytes, calcium, and phosphorus levels.
    • Ultrasound (USG) Abdomen: A non-invasive imaging tool to assess kidney size, shape, and structural anomalies.
    • DMSA and MAG3 Scans: Nuclear imaging for detailed kidney function and drainage.
    • Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG): To evaluate for VUR and bladder abnormalities.
    • Kidney Biopsy: Performed under sedation in select cases to identify the cause of glomerular diseases.
    • Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM): To assess hypertension over 24 hours.
    • Genetic Testing: In inherited renal disorders like polycystic kidney disease.
