A Pediatric Nephrologist is a child specialist (paediatrician with further training in kidney medicine) who diagnoses and treats kidney, bladder, urinary and blood-pressure problems in babies, children and teenagers. In Bangladesh, parents are most often referred for nephrotic syndrome (puffy face and swollen legs with frothy urine), repeated urinary tract infections, blood or protein in the urine, acute and chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, bedwetting that persists beyond age 5-7, and antenatal hydronephrosis (a swollen kidney picked up on pregnancy ultrasound). They also manage electrolyte and growth problems and guide families through dialysis and transplant when kidney failure is advanced. A typical consultation involves a detailed history, a focused examination, checking blood pressure and growth, and reviewing or ordering tests such as urine R/M/E, urine ACR, serum creatinine, electrolytes and a kidney ultrasound. Because many childhood kidney diseases relapse, the doctor usually explains long-term medicine (often steroids), diet and follow-up. See a Pediatric Nephrologist if your child has unexplained swelling, abnormal urine, recurrent UTIs, high blood pressure, or a kidney finding on a scan.
