Conditions Treated

We offer specialized care for a wide range of pediatric kidney and urinary tract disorders, ensuring early diagnosis, precise treatment, and long-term follow-up for growing children.

Nephrotic Syndrome – Comprehensive management of steroid-sensitive, difficult to treat, and steroid-resistant forms, with individualized immunosuppressive therapies, infection prevention strategies, edema control, and structured relapse monitoring programs.

Providing transplant-preparatory management for children with End Stage Kidney Disease. 

 

Congenital Kidney and Urinary Tract Anomalies – Management of structural abnormalities present from birth, such as hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux, posterior urethral valves, cystic kidney diseases, renal dysplasia, and duplex collecting systems, with coordinated medical and surgical care.

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections – Evaluation of children with frequent or complicated UTIs, including imaging for underlying anatomical causes, preventive therapies, bladder training, and ongoing infection surveillance.

Tubular and Electrolyte Disorders – Expert care for renal tubular acidosis, Fanconi syndrome, Bartter and Gitelman syndromes, and other conditions affecting acid-base balance, electrolyte regulation, and growth.

Kidney Stones (Pediatric Urolithiasis) – Evaluation and management of stones in children through metabolic and genetic testing, dietary guidance, medical therapy for stone passage, and long-term prevention strategies.

Hematuria and Proteinuria – Systematic evaluation of blood or protein in urine to identify underlying renal causes, supported by advanced laboratory testing and imaging.

Inherited and Genetic Kidney Disorders – Diagnosis and coordinated care for conditions such as polycystic kidney disease, Alport syndrome, cystinosis, and other hereditary renal syndromes through genetic evaluation and long-term follow-up.

Voiding Disorders - Assessment and treatment of daytime/nighttime wetting, bowel bladder dysfunction, overactive/underactive bladder, dysfunctional voiding, and neurogenic bladder.

Refractory Rickets - Evaluation and management of kidney-related causes of refractory rickets, including metabolic and tubular disorders.
