Nephrology
When children have a kidney disease, families and health professionals are closely involved. We understand that medical care must be comprehensive to address the many complications that may come with kidney conditions. The CHOC nephrology team is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for our patients, providing a variety of services for all kidney problems from diagnoses and treatments, including teaching families to allow for at-home care. 24-hours-a-day, 7 days a week, physicians are available for phone contact with parents so you can rest assured your child is in good care no matter what time it is.
Multidisciplinary Nephrology Clinic
Our highly trained and board-certified pediatric specialists work collaboratively with primary care physicians, pediatric urologists, dietitians, social workers and case managers to provide comprehensive care. Additionally, you can meet with a nephrologist and another specialist during the same clinic visit such as:
- HTN clinic
- Rheumatology
- Tuberous sclerosis multidisciplinary clinic
- Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Nephrology Conditions We Treat
Family Education and At-Home Care
We understand that receiving treatment for kidney problems can interrupt a kid’s normal life and school-days. However, living with a kidney condition shouldn’t put childhood on pause.
CHOC nephrologists combine compassion with education to help parents and patients understand kidney conditions. By involving families in treatment planning, many conditions can be managed at home so your child doesn’t have to miss class. Back-up support is available 24/7, including helping parents do peritoneal dialysis at home.
