Children’s Kidney Services

We provide a comprehensive regional children’s kidney disease (nephrology) service for the North East and North Cumbria.

One of only thirteen specially designated centres for children’s nephrology in the UK, we look after children from childbirth up to the age of 18 years.

Our service is mainly led by consultants and specialist nurses who are specially trained to be able to diagnose and treat acute kidney injury (sudden kidney failure), as well chronic kidney disease (long term kidney failure).

We provide dialysis, kidney transplantation – both living donor and deceased donors, complicated nephritis and nephrotic syndromes and complex urinary tract infection, haematuria (blood in urine), hypertension (high blood pressure).
