Our mission is to care for children and adolescents with kidney disease, to expand understanding of kidney disease and develop new treatments through research, and to train the next generation of pediatric nephrologists.

The Division of Pediatric Nephrology at the University of Minnesota is dedicated to the care of infants, children, and adolescents with kidney disease. We offer comprehensive medical services for a full range of kidney disorders, including:

  • Congenital Malformations of the Kidney and Bladder

  • Familial Nephritis (Alport Syndrome)

  • Glomerulonephritis

  • Hematuria and Proteinuria

  • Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

  • Hypertension

  • Kidney Failure

  • Kidney Stones

  • Nephrotic Syndrome

  • Polycystic Kidney Disease

  • Prenatally diagnosed kidney abnormalities

  • Urinary Tract Infections

  • Vesicoureteral Reflux

We have a very active dialysis and transplant program for children with end-stage kidney failure. The University of Minnesota is one of the three largest pediatric kidney transplant programs in the world, and has performed more infant transplants than any other program in the United States.

The pediatric nephrologists work closely with a number of other specialties including pediatric urology, transplant surgery, pediatric psychology, nutrition, and social work to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the care of children with kidney disease.
