Nephrology

Advances in dialysis technology mean children with serious kidney conditions no longer have to miss out on having a normal childhood. In fact, the pediatric nephrologists at Ronald McDonald® Children’s Hospital of Loyola can help your child get back to the routine, everyday activities that they love, even when diagnosed with:

• Diabetic nephropathy
• Renal hypertension
• Bed-wetting
• Recurrent urinary tract infections
• Blood or protein in the urine
• Glomerular and tubular disorders
• Chronic renal failure

Dialysis, which removes toxins and waste when the kidneys cannot, is available for both infants and children with kidney disease. Our board-certified pediatric nephrologists also work with pediatric surgeons to prepare children for transplants when they are faced with chronic kidney failure and follow-up post-surgery to oversee their recovery.
