When to see a pediatric nephrologist?
If you experience symptoms indicating renal disease, it's crucial to consult a nephrologist. Signs of renal illness may include a family history of the condition and a higher risk of developing it if one of your direct genetic relatives has it.
What conditions does a paediatric nephrologist treat?
Nephrologists who specialise in paediatrics are responsible for diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of conditions that impact the kidneys and urinary system. These conditions include kidney failure, high blood pressure, hereditary kidney diseases, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and abnormalities in the urine, such as blood and protein.
Are kidney diseases hereditary?
Kidney problems in children can be inherited due to genetic mutations, which are the root cause of hereditary kidney illnesses. There are approximately 300 known hereditary kidney abnormalities, which are passed down from parents to offspring.
Can kidney diseases in children be cured?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a permanent, untreatable condition in children. However, medications can slow its progression and delay dialysis or transplantation. Acute renal illness can be reversed, allowing kidneys to function again. Various treatments are available to manage CKD.
Is dialysis safe for children?
Peritoneal dialysis typically doesn't cause severe symptoms in children, but some may experience a drop in blood pressure and lightheadedness, which usually improves over time and with fluid consumption.
