We work in partnership with your family to provide exceptional care and help each child reach the best physical, social and emotional health possible.
Comprehensive medical consultations and evaluations are available for prenatal counseling, initial diagnosis, kidney replacement therapy (e.g., dialysis and kidney transplantation), and the transition to adult care. We have multidisciplinary clinics with Urology for the management of complex kidney/bladder disorders (UroNeph Clinic) and kidney stones (Kidney Stone Clinic) and Rheumatology for the management of children with lupus (Vasculitis Clinic).

Hypertension, which is increased blood pressure, is becoming more prevalent in children partially due to the present epidemic of obesity. Hypertension in children can also occur due to congenital abnormalities of kidneys and some inherited diseases. Uncontrolled hypertension can have serious effects on organs such as the brain, heart, eyes and kidneys.
At Arkansas Children’s in Little Rock, Arkansas, our nephrology team provides specialized care for patients with a wide range of kidney, urinary tract and hypertension issues.
