The Paediatric Nephrology Team at Yashoda Hospital provides comprehensive one-stop care to neonates, infants and children up to 16 years of age with both acute and chronic renal diseases. The experienced medical staff strives to provide the highest quality services and the most innovative care in a family-centred environment.
Our team of paediatric nephrologists provides diagnostic evaluations, medical treatments, and follow-up monitoring for children for various genitourinary conditions. We offer to transform medical care for every child who suffers from the entire spectrum of kidney and urinary diseases. We offer integrative care, and our specialists collaborate with physicians from various other departments to personalize every patient treatment program. Our team consists of highly qualified pediatric nephrologists, dialysis technicians, nurses, and a dietitian – all professionally trained to treat children.
Our nephrologists follow a multidisciplinary approach by coordinating with experts from other specialities at Yashoda Hospital, including orthopaedics, endocrinology, psychology, genetics, and paediatric gynaecology, ensuring that care is seamlessly coordinated.
To treat renal abnormalities in children, our paediatric nephrology services provide an array of non-invasive, minimally invasive, and surgical procedures.
Some of the significant treatment services available include:
This is a painless diagnostic procedure that is conducted under sedation without general anaesthesia. This minimally invasive procedure uses ultrasound to generate pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves.
If your child suffers from chronic or acute chronic renal failure, then Dialysis is performed to take the place of the functions of the kidney to filter the waste and water from a human’s body. Haemodialysis cleans the body by removing the toxins.
Haemodiafiltration act as a form of renal replacement therapy that is used as a blood purification method. HDF removes more middle-molecular-weight solutes than standard haemodialysis and provides better clinical outcomes and removal of larger toxins.
SLEDD has emerged as an increasingly popular renal replacement therapy because it contains the properties of both Intermittent Haemodialysis (IHD) and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT). If your child has acute kidney illness, then SLEDD is primarily used because it benefits the patient by providing good solute control and haemodynamic stability.
We provide CRRT to patients who are haemodynamically unstable and require a continuous 24 hour per day therapy. CRRT is commonly used to treat critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and is a slow and continuous extracorporeal blood purification therapy.
CRRT imitates the functioning of the kidney and continuously purifies the blood by regulating water, electrolytes, and toxic products through the constant slow removal of solutes and fluid. It is generally provided to the patients who meet standards for haemodialysis therapy but cannot receive conventional intermittent haemodialysis (IHD) due to hemodynamic instability.
In this procedure, plasma exchange occurs where some plasma is removed from the blood and replaced with healthy plasma. Some kidney diseases such as Good pasture syndrome, a condition that causes antibodies to attack the kidneys and lungs require plasmapheresis for treatment.
In this procedure, the peritoneal catheter and same peritoneal cavity is used for cleansing of the blood. Peritoneal Dialysis, also known as Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis is monitored by machine programme that controls the flow of fluid that goes in and out and the frequency of the process by using series of clamps and pumps.

We are eager to help you at every step of your medical journey from hospital and back to your home.
