Nephrology (Kidney Disease)

Fangming Lin, MD, PhD

Infants and children with complex kidney diseases and urologic conditions can find the full range of treatment options at NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital. The Division of Pediatric Nephrology provides comprehensive care for a wide range of kidney diseases and urologic conditions that affect newborns, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. These include:

• acute kidney injury
• chronic kidney disease
• end-stage renal disease
• fluid and electrolyte abnormalities
• glomerulonephritis
• hematuria and proteinuria
• hypertension
• kidney stones
• nephrotic syndrome
• urinary tract and kidney malformations

Care is provided in a family-centered environment by a dedicated interdisciplinary team that includes physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, dietitians, and social workers.

Hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy, and a comprehensive kidney transplant program are available for patients with end-stage renal disease. The kidney transplantation program offers pre- and post-transplant counseling for patients and family members, and leading edge therapies are used to help reduce the side effects of anti-rejection drugs.

In addition to providing compassionate, state-of-the-art care for patients with acute and chronic kidney diseases, the Division is also pursuing research to help advance the understanding of kidney disease and improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The Division is also committed to training young physicians in the best practices in pediatric nephrology.
