Kidney and urinary tract health plays a key role in a child’s overall development. At “Heart Diagnostic Center,” we offer specialized pediatric nephrology care—focused on the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of kidney and urinary problems in children from infancy through adolescence.

Symptoms of kidney conditions are often nonspecific and may go unnoticed without consulting a specialist. That’s why in cases of frequent infections, pain during urination, or fluid retention, it is important to receive an accurate assessment from a pediatric nephrologist.

What is pediatric nephrology?

Pediatric nephrology focuses on diseases of the kidneys, urinary tract, and urination in children. It includes the evaluation of kidney function, diagnosis of inflammations, infections, urinary tract anomalies, and conditions such as enuresis (bedwetting), nephrotic syndrome, or congenital kidney diseases.

At “Heart Diagnostic Center,” we strive for early and accurate diagnosis, gentle testing methods, and long-term monitoring when needed.

When should you see a pediatric nephrologist?

Consultation is recommended in the presence of the following symptoms and conditions:

• Pain or burning during urination
• Frequent urinary tract infections
• Changes in urine color or odor
• Detected presence of blood or protein in the urine
• Swelling of the eyelids, limbs, or abdomen
• Bedwetting during the night or day after the age of 5
• Delayed development of bladder control
• Suspected congenital kidney anomalies
• Family history of hereditary kidney diseases
• High blood pressure without an obvious cause

What does the pediatric nephrologist diagnose and treat?

In our center, we offer diagnosis and treatment of:

• Urinary tract infections
• Acute and chronic pyelonephritis
• Nephrotic syndrome
• Glomerulonephritis
• Congenital malformations of the kidneys and urinary tract
• Enuresis (bedwetting)
• Voiding dysfunctions (frequent or difficult urination)
• Kidney stones (urolithiasis) in children

What to expect during a pediatric nephrology consultation?

The consultation begins with a careful discussion with the parents about complaints, frequency of urination, past infections, family history, and fluid intake. Then the following is performed:

• Clinical examination – measuring blood pressure, assessment of the abdomen, limbs, and general condition
• Ordering of tests:
  • Urine analysis – dipstick, sediment, culture
  • Blood tests for kidney function (urea, creatinine)
  • Ultrasound examination of the kidneys and bladder
  • Additional imaging tests when needed (cystography, scintigraphy)

After analyzing the results, a clear treatment or follow-up plan is developed, tailored to the child’s age and specific condition.
