Nefrología

Care for both routine and complex kidney conditions

US News and World Report Badge - Nephrology Arkansas Children's team of kidney specialists (nephrologists) is the only team in the state with specialized training in pediatrics. Our pediatric nephrology team diagnoses and manages many different types of kidney diseases in all ages of children.

Some children are born with kidney diseases, which means waste and toxins can build up in the bloodstream and cause them to get sick. Kidney disease can be complicated, so we are committed to providing family-centered care to work closely with our patients and families to meet their unique needs.
