Pediatric nephrology

Pediatric nephrology is a special department in Param Superspeciality Hospital that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney disorders in children.

In addition to providing medical treatment, our expert pediatric nephrologists also play a crucial role in educating families about their child’s condition and helping them understand the various treatment options available. They may also work closely with schools and other community resources to ensure that children with kidney disorders receive the support they need to thrive.
