Is Your Child Experiencing Any of These Signs?

Select a common symptom below to view pediatric nephrology guidance, what it might mean, and what reports to bring.

Common Pediatric Kidney Symptom

Puffiness / Swelling around Eyes or Feet (Edema)

Swelling in children—especially around the eyes noticed first thing in the morning, or swelling over ankles and abdomen—can be an early sign of Nephrotic Syndrome or other kidney filtering conditions where the body loses protein into the urine.

Helpful Checklist for Consultation:

  • Check if swelling reduces through the day
  • Note if urine looks foamy or bubbly
  • Bring previous routine urine test if done
  • Avoid high-salt snacks pending consultation

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to questions parents commonly ask about pediatric kidney care.

What does a pediatric nephrologist treat?+

A pediatric nephrologist is a pediatrician with dedicated fellowship training in kidney and urinary tract diseases in children. Conditions treated include Nephrotic Syndrome, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), blood or protein in urine (hematuria/proteinuria), childhood hypertension, kidney stones, hydronephrosis, congenital renal anomalies, and chronic kidney disease.

Why does my child have swelling around the eyes?+

Puffiness around the eyes, especially noticed first thing in the morning and sometimes accompanied by ankle or abdominal swelling, can be a cardinal sign of Nephrotic Syndrome. In this condition, the kidneys leak large amounts of protein into the urine, lowering blood albumin and leading to fluid retention. A simple urine routine test can confirm if protein is present.

What should I bring to the first appointment?+

Please bring all prior medical reports, including routine urine and urine culture tests, recent blood reports (creatinine, electrolytes, blood count), ultrasound abdomen/KUB scan films and reports, pediatrician referral notes, and a list of current medications and dosages.

Can children have high blood pressure?+

Yes. High blood pressure in children and adolescents is more likely to be caused by underlying kidney or vascular issues (secondary hypertension) than in adults. Identifying the cause through a pediatric nephrology evaluation allows timely treatment and protects the heart, eyes, and kidneys.

Does protein in urine always mean serious kidney disease?+

Not always. Transient proteinuria can occur during fever, strenuous activity, or simply standing up (orthostatic proteinuria, common in tall teenagers). However, persistent protein on multiple morning urine samples warrants a specialist evaluation to rule out glomerular conditions.

How are recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs) evaluated?+

Recurrent UTIs in children require more than antibiotics. We perform a systematic evaluation including ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder, review of bladder-bowel habits, and, when indicated, specialized tests like MCU/VCUG to check for Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) where urine flows backward towards the kidney.

Can children with kidney conditions lead a normal, active life?+

Yes! With timely diagnosis, tailored medications, and careful monitoring, the vast majority of children with conditions like Nephrotic Syndrome, reflux, and glomerular disorders attend regular school, play sports, and grow up into healthy adulthood.
