Paediatric Nephrologist Consultations
Specialized diagnostic care for kidney, electrolyte, and urinary tract disorders in children.
Led by Dr. Pratima Verma (MBBS, MD Pediatrics, MRCPCH UK), our specialized pediatric nephrology service evaluates and treats infants, children, and adolescents with complex, unexplained, or chronic renal and urinary disorders. Kidney diseases in children behave fundamentally differently than in adults and require sub-specialty protocols to safeguard renal growth and preserve long-term kidney function.
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
Precision microscopic urinalysis (RBC morphology, protein quantification, urine Pr/Cr ratio)
Radiation-sparing high-resolution renal & bladder ultrasound (KUB USG)
Age-specific pediatric renal function panel (Serum Creatinine, Cystatin C, BUN, Electrolytes)
Specialized tubular and metabolic 24-hour urine excretion studies
Coordination of pediatric nuclear renal scintigraphy (DMSA / DTPA scans)
Treatment & Therapeutic Protocols
Evidence-based, child-safe management strategies
Evidence-based medical management following KDIGO and Indian Society of Pediatric Nephrology guidelines
Strict monitoring of fluid balance, electrolyte homoeostasis, and blood pressure
Careful titration of targeted medications without exposing developing organs to unnecessary drug toxicities
Longitudinal growth and dietary coordination with dedicated pediatric renal nutrition guidance
The Pravas Care Guarantee
“Kidney diseases in children frequently present with subtle signs like poor weight gain or mild facial swelling. Timely sub-specialty consultation prevents permanent renal scarring.”
Frequently Asked Questions
When should a parent see a pediatric nephrologist instead of a general pediatrician?
A child should be seen by a pediatric nephrologist if they have recurrent UTIs, protein or blood in urine, persistent puffiness around the eyes, abnormal kidney ultrasound findings, elevated blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disorders.
Are pediatric kidney problems permanent?
Many pediatric kidney conditions—including acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis and first episodes of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome—respond very favorably to treatment and achieve complete remission when diagnosed early.
