About Pediatric Nephrology
Paediatric nephrology treats kidney and urinary conditions in children. Puffy eyes in the morning with foamy urine may indicate nephrotic syndrome, which usually responds to steroids but needs specialist follow-up.
Urinary infection in a child, especially with fever, needs prompt treatment and often an ultrasound to rule out structural problems. Bedwetting beyond age 5 to 6 may deserve assessment.
