Pediatric Nephrology

At ClearMedi Healthcare, we recognize that children are not simply "little adults." Because of their developing bodies, children need a special, caring, and highly specialized method, especially when caring for their kidneys. As a top hospital for treating kidney problems in children, we are committed to providing world-class medical treatment for infants, children, and teenagers with kidney and urinary tract disorders.

The kidneys help children grow by regulating blood pressure and bone health, and by filtering waste. Kidney problems in childhood can affect a child's overall development.

Pediatric Ultrasound & Imaging; through high-detail imaging quality, we can see if someone has a structural defect in their kidneys or obstruction

• Pediatric Kidney Biopsy: A trained nephrologist, using minimally invasive techniques to obtain kidney tissue samples, confirms whether a specific kidney disease is present or which types of kidney disease are affecting the child's kidneys.
• Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG): We perform a specialized imaging test to evaluate vesicoureteral reflux (backward flow of urine).
• Advanced Lab Panels: precise measurements of the child's electrolytes, creatinine, and metabolic markers.

Symptoms You Should Never Ignore

If your child is exhibiting any of these symptoms, you should contact a pediatric nephrologist right away:

• Swelling (edema) of the eyes, ankles, or feet
• Blood in the urine (cola-cola or reddish urine)
• Painful or frequent urination
• Unexplained, prolonged fever (often indicates a possible urinary tract infection)
• High blood pressure for a child's age
• Poor growth or unexplained fatigue 

The Journey to Recovery: Pediatric Focused

The journey to healing a child cannot occur alone; the process of healing is a complete family experience and affects all members of the family. Since a child’s well-being is based on the environment around them, our programs involve the entire family in recovery processes, so parents and siblings are not just bystanders but also participants on their journey to wellness. With this shared method, we assist families in creating their resilience, so the progress made in our programs transfers into long-term stability at home.

• Specialist Consultation: Evaluation by a pediatric nephrologist who understands how to communicate with children.
• Testing that focuses on the child: Rapid and accurate testing while minimizing discomfort.
• Treatment plan specific to child: Medications for nephrotic syndrome or surgical correction of congenital kidney disease will be developed specifically for your child.
• Monitoring growth and nutrition: Specialized diets for the maintenance of the health of the kidneys while allowing for the development of physical growth.
• Consistent follow-up: Continuity of care to ensure that all milestones of development are being achieved.

Advanced Pediatric Urology & Neonatal Renal Care

When your son/daughter needs surgery to fix their kidney or bladder problems, we have experts with extensive surgical knowledge at ClearMedi Healthcare. These specialist doctors work alongside pediatric urologists to perform minimally invasive surgery, thereby reducing the size of incisions and the healing time after the procedure. 

From repairing congenital structural defects in the kidneys to managing more challenging cases that involve kidney blockages, our hospital’s surgical theatre and the staff associated with it will deliver the newest technology and the highest standard of care while ensuring your son/daughter receives as little trauma from this procedure as possible.

Specialized Pediatric Nutrition & Growth Support

Even if diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or nephrotic syndrome, your child can continue growing. Our pediatric nephrologists work with registered dietitians who specialize in the nutrition of children with kidney problems and can create an individualized nutrition plan that helps stabilize fluid and salt levels in the body. 

Our goal is to help children reach their full potential for growth and development through individualized nutrition counseling while treating chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) in children. A dietitian will help you determine how many calories your child needs each day to achieve proper bone density and height as they grow, even if they have chronic kidney disease.
