Pediatric kidney disease & Congenital

A Pediatric Kidney Transplant is a surgical operation used to replace a child with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney malfunction with a healthy kidney from a deceased or living donor. This operation is a life-saving measure intended to improve the child's general health and quality of life while restoring normal kidney function.

Our pediatric kidney transplant program is prepared to treat a wide range of illnesses that may necessitate a kidney transplant in children. Some of the most prevalent conditions we treat are:

• Congenital Anomalies: We evaluate and treat patients born with kidney and urinary tract anomalies, including polycystic kidney disease, posterior urethral valves, and renal dysplasia that can lead to ESRD and the need for a kidney transplant.

• Glomerular Disorders: We offer specialist care to children with glomerular disorders such as nephrotic syndrome, IgA nephropathy, and membranous nephropathy who advance to ESRD and require kidney transplantation.

• We treat genetic kidney illnesses such as Alport syndrome, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, and cystinosis, which may necessitate a kidney transplant as the disease advances.

• Renal Hypoplasia or Dysplasia: We examine and treat children with renal hypoplasia or dysplasia, which are disorders in which the kidneys do not fully mature or are physically incorrect, resulting in ESRD and the need for a kidney transplant.

• Acquired ESRD: We provide kidney transplantation for children who develop ESRD due to an acquired cause. Chronic glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and kidney damage caused by drugs or infections are examples of such disorders.
