Pediatric Nephrology

Division of Pediatric Nephrology provides services to children with kidney diseases from Newborns to 21years of age. We provide medical management of Children with Hypertension, Renal and Urological disorders, Fluid and Electrolytes disorders, Acute and Chronic Kidney Failure, and Renal transplant. All modalities of dialysis are provided; this includes continuous renal replacement therapy, peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. There are currently 45-50 children with chronic renal failure on dialysis at Loma Linda university children's hospital. We provide consultative services to the PICU, NICU, Pediatric cardiac ICU and pediatric inpatient units. Children with chronic kidney diseases, dialysis and renal transplant are followed in pediatric renal clinics. A team approach is provided in the clinic. The renal team center has a renal dietician, renal social worker, renal nurse practitioner and a nephrology nurse specialist to provide comprehensive care. Our goal is to provide state of the art care to children with renal diseases in the Inland Empire. We are a California children's services certified Specialty Renal Team center.
