Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Pediatric Management
Multidisciplinary management to slow disease progression and safeguard linear growth.
Chronic Kidney Disease in children requires careful, long-term medical surveillance. Our priority is slowing functional decline, maintaining appropriate height velocity, optimizing cognitive development, and preventing cardiovascular complications.
Common Symptoms & When to Consult
Signs and clinical presentations evaluated by our pediatric team
Diagnostic Workup & Clinical Evaluation
Precision testing protocols avoiding unnecessary invasive tests
Pediatric-specific GFR staging using Schwartz creatinine-cystatin C bedside equations
Screening for CKD-Mineral and Bone Disorder (Serum Calcium, Phosphate, Alkaline Phosphatase, intact PTH)
Anemia workup (Hemoglobin, Iron indices, Reticulocyte count, Peripheral blood smear)
Venous blood gas (VBG) for systemic metabolic acidosis evaluation
Echocardiogram for left ventricular mass index and vascular stiffness
Treatment & Therapeutic Protocols
Evidence-based, child-safe management strategies
Renal-protective ACE inhibitor / ARB therapy to reduce proteinuria and slow CKD progression
Correction of renal anemia with recombinant human Erythropoietin (EPO) and IV/oral iron
Treatment of CKD-MBD using calcium/non-calcium phosphate binders and active Vitamin D analogs
Systemic acidosis neutralization with oral sodium bicarbonate to stimulate linear growth
Specialized pediatric renal dietary planning balancing high calories with controlled minerals
The Pravas Care Guarantee
“Preserving residual kidney function and linear height velocity requires an active partnership between the family and the paediatric nephrologist.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a child with CKD continue attending regular school?
Yes. Our goal is to keep children actively engaged in normal schooling and peer social activities through planned outpatient medical regimens and supportive school health letters.
How do we help a child with kidney disease grow in height?
By rigorously treating metabolic acidosis, normalizing phosphate and parathyroid hormone levels, optimizing nutrition, and, when indicated, using recombinant pediatric growth hormone therapy.
