Department of Paediatric Nephrology

Department Overview

At Rela Hospital’s Department of Paediatric Nephrology, we believe childhood kidney disease is a continuum from prevention, to acute kidney injury (AKI) or disease, to chronic kidney disease (CKD), to dialysis, to transplantation, to rehabilitation. Every member of the department is proficient in providing care at any point along this continuum. This makes us the most comprehensive as well as one of the best paediatric kidney care hospital in Chennai as well as in India.

In fact, the entire nephrology team, which includes specialized nurses, and nutritionist, evaluate and treat children with kidney disease from infancy to adolescence in the most comprehensive yet most medically sophisticated manner. They care for those with urinary tract infections, hypertension, haematuria, proteinuria, glomerulonephritis, and nephrotic syndrome, vasculitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus and chronic kidney disease, including those who require chronic dialysis or transplantation.

We continuously strive to improve the care we provide by integrating recent discoveries and established treatments.
