Paediatric Nephrology

At our Paediatric Nephrology Department, we specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of kidney and urinary tract disorders in children—from infancy through adolescence. With a team committed to clinical excellence and child-centred care, we combine advanced diagnostic technology with compassionate expertise to ensure every young patient receives the highest standard of renal care.

Our Specialised Services Include:

Diagnostic Work Up

  • Renal Function Assessment

    Comprehensive evaluation of kidney health through blood tests, urine analysis and biochemical profiling to detect early signs of renal impairment, electrolyte imbalance, or metabolic dysfunction.

  • Ultrasound and Doppler Imaging

    Non-invasive imaging to assess kidney structure, detect congenital abnormalities, reflux, obstruction, scarring, or vascular issues affecting renal function.

  • DMSA, MAG3 and Renal Scintigraphy

    Nuclear medicine scans to evaluate renal scarring, split renal function, drainage patterns and obstruction in conditions such as hydronephrosis and vesicoureteric reflux.

  • Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

    Twenty-four-hour monitoring to detect masked hypertension, white-coat hypertension and early signs of renal-related high blood pressure.

Interventional and Advanced Management

  • Renal Biopsy

    Ultrasound-guided renal biopsy for precise diagnosis of glomerular diseases, nephrotic syndrome variants, vasculitis and other inflammatory renal conditions, enabling tailored treatment plans.

  • Management of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

    Rapid identification and treatment of AKI through fluid optimisation, medication adjustments and intensive monitoring to prevent long-term kidney damage.

  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Care

    Comprehensive, stage-based management including dietary counselling, growth monitoring, anaemia management, bone and mineral disorder treatment and preparation for renal replacement therapy when required.

  • Dialysis Services

    Peritoneal Dialysis (PD): Child-friendly home-based therapy for chronic kidney failure, with training and ongoing support for families.

    Haemodialysis (HD): Paediatric-specific dialysis protocols ensuring safety, comfort and optimal clearance.

  • Renal Transplant Evaluation & Post-Transplant Care

    Assessment of suitability for kidney transplantation, coordination with transplant teams, immunosuppression management, infection prevention and long-term graft monitoring.

  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)

    Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of recurrent UTIs, including imaging, antibiotic prophylaxis when indicated and management of underlying anatomical or functional causes.

  • Tubulopathies and Electrolyte Disorders

    Diagnosis and long-term management of conditions such as renal tubular acidosis, Bartter syndrome, Gitelman syndrome and other disorders affecting salt balance, acid–base status and growth.

  • Hypertension Clinic

    Focused care for all forms of childhood hypertension, especially secondary hypertension arising from renal pathology. Includes medication optimisation, lifestyle planning and target organ monitoring.

  • Congenital Renal and Urinary Tract Disorders (CAKUT)

    Holistic management of antenatal hydronephrosis, duplex kidneys, posterior urethral valves, bladder dysfunction and other structural abnormalities.

  • Enuresis and Bladder Dysfunction

    Diagnosis and management of day and night-time wetting, bladder instability, dysfunctional voiding and bowel–bladder dysfunction through behavioural therapy, medication and urotherapy.

  • Kidney Stones and Metabolic Stone Disease

    Evaluation and treatment of paediatric nephrolithiasis, including metabolic work-up, dietary guidance, medication and long-term prevention strategies.

  • Rare and Genetic Kidney Diseases

    Care for hereditary renal disorders such as Alport syndrome, polycystic kidney disease, cystinosis and complement-mediated diseases, supported by access to specialised genetic testing.

Renal Rehabilitation and Long-Term Follow-Up

We offer structured follow-up programmes focusing on growth, nutrition, psychological support, school integration and transition to adult renal services. Our multidisciplinary team ensures continuity of care and improved quality of life for children living with chronic renal conditions.

We have dedicated clinic for
