About Pediatric Nephrology
Paediatric nephrology treats kidney disease in children. Morning puffiness of the face with foamy urine can signal nephrotic syndrome, which usually responds to steroids but may relapse.
Repeated urinary infections in a child need an ultrasound and sometimes further tests to look for structural problems.
This page is general information, not medical advice. Fees, availability and outcomes vary by doctor and hospital.
