A child with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) may utilize one of the following treatment options:
Kidney Transplant: This is the preferred long-term solution; nearly all children with end-stage kidney disease will eventually receive a transplant.
Dialysis: This treatment uses a machine to filter waste from the blood. Since end-stage kidneys do not "heal," dialysis serves as a vital bridge to keep the body functioning until a kidney transplant can be performed.
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT): A slower, continuous form of dialysis that runs 24 hours a day. This is typically used for children who are acutely ill and require a gentler filtration process than standard dialysis.
Your child’s ability to participate in physical activities will depend on their condition and the treatment procedure they are going through. In some cases, they will be able to resume back to their normal daily routine in no time. In other cases, they might have to take a break from physical activities. You would have to consult your doctor regarding this. Our aim is to see your children enjoy their life to the fullest. To achieve this, we will do everything that is possible to help them.

There is also an option for prenatal evaluation for a family whose unborn child is diagnosed with kidney disease. The most common diagnostic methods include: Blood tests Biopsy ultrasound MRI of the urinary system CT scan of the urinary system
