Infant Kidney Problems Treatment in Bangalore

One of the body’s most important functions is the kidney’s ability to filter waste and water out of the bloodstream (pee). They also aid in the control of blood pressure, the generation of red blood cells, and the concentrations of calcium and other minerals.

In infants, the kidneys don’t grow correctly and as a consequence don’t work effectively. These issues are often inherited and have nothing to do with what a parent did or did not do. Regal affords the best infant kidney problems treatment in Bangalore.

When a kid is still in the womb, standard prenatal testing may identify and treat many of these issues before the infant is even born. Problems including UTIs, development issues, or high blood pressure may arise in the future (hypertension).

Pediatric Nephrologist in Bangalore

Pediatric nephrology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that focuses on the treatment of kidney diseases in children. Pediatric nephrologists are the one who specializes in treating a wide range of kidney diseases in children. They work closely with other physicians such as pediatric urologists, pediatric surgeons, and pediatric radiologists. Our Pediatric nephrologists in Bangalore treat patients with kidney disease at all stages of life, from infancy through adulthood. Kidney diseases are among the leading causes of death in children. They can affect any part of the body, but the kidneys are often affected first. In some cases, the cause of the kidney disease cannot be determined. However, there are several types of kidney diseases that can occur in childhood, such as acute (sudden) and chronic (ongoing) (happening over time and usually long-lasting or permanent).

Acute renal failure: Overdosing on drugs or a poisonous substance may result in acute renal damage (also known as acute kidney failure). Dialysis may be necessary in certain circumstances, as well as addressing the underlying issue that caused the kidney damage.

Chronic renal failure: Chronic renal failure is characterised by the gradual loss of kidney function. In children and teenagers, it may be caused by acute renal failure that does not improve, birth abnormalities, chronic kidney illnesses, or chronic severe hypertension in the arteries and veins. This condition may be cured with early detection. Medications, blood pressure management, and a healthy diet are often used to delay the deterioration in kidney function. A kidney transplant may be necessary at some stage.

Common diseases treated by our pediatric nephrologists

Some common diseases treated by pediatric doctors in regal are,

Posterior urethral valve obstruction: Only boys are affected by posterior urethral valve obstruction, a narrowing or occlusion of the urethra. A prenatal or postpartum diagnosis is possible, and surgery is the treatment of choice.
Foetal hydronephrosis: An blockage in the developing urinary system or an abnormality known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) may induce foetal hydronephrosis, which is an enlargement of one or both kidneys that is caused by aberrant passage of urine from the bladder into the ureters. Most cases of foetal hydronephrosis are identified before the kid is born. A surgical procedure to remove the blockage from the urinary system may be necessary in certain circumstances, while in others, merely close observation will suffice.
Polycystic kidney disease:Both kidneys are filled with many fluid-filled cysts. It is possible that the cysts might proliferate to such an extent and expand to such an enormous size that renal failure results. The majority of cases of PKD are hereditary. It may be diagnosed before or after the birth of a child, according to doctors. PKD may cause UTIs, kidney stones, and high blood pressure in some situations; in others, it can cause no symptoms at all. Treatment for PKD varies, with some patients requiring a kidney transplant or dialysis, while others may be controlled with dietary adjustments.
Multicystic kidney disease: When huge cysts form in a kidney that hasn’t formed correctly, it ultimately stops operating. This is known as multicystic kidney disease (MKD). Unlike PKD, when both kidneys are affected, MKD often only affects one kidney. Because of this, most persons with MKD may expect to have normal renal function. Prenatal ultrasounds are often used to diagnose MKD before the baby is born. Doctors treat it by keeping an eye on blood pressure and doing urine tests for urinary tract infections (UTIs) as required. Surgery to remove the kidney is only essential in the most extreme cases.
