The mission of the Division of Pediatric Nephrology is three-fold: 1) to provide compassionate, state-of-the-art care for patients with acute and chronic kidney diseases, 2) to be at the forefront of research and discoveries to advance our understanding of kidney disease and improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, and 3) to train physicians in the best practices in pediatric nephrology.
The Division recently recruited two new faculty members experienced in the treatment of renal diseases from premiere Nephrology programs in the United States.
