Conditions & Treatments
Our pediatric nephrology specialists are nationally recognized leaders in kidney care and research. We have the expertise and latest technology to diagnose and treat both common and rare conditions in children and teenagers.
Treatments We Provide
-
Dialysis
Dialysis is a treatment that cleans the body of waste products and water when your kidneys are no longer able to. We provide two types of outpatient therapy, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. In-center hemodialysis is performed in our dedicated pediatric dialysis unit.
-
Kidney Transplant
We are the only pediatric nephrology, dialysis and transplant provider in West Michigan. Our pediatric nephrology program offers comprehensive nephrology care for patients in all stages of chronic kidney disease.
Conditions We Treat
If you are referred to us, your child may be experiencing one or more of these conditions that can be improved with the specialized care of a pediatric nephrologist. In addition, we offer consultations to expectant mothers when a prenatal ultrasound shows kidney abnormalities in their unborn child.
