Pediatric Nephrology (Kidney Disease)
We are Miami’s leaders in treating kidney disease in children with comprehensive care and a network of support.
Kidney disease can affect a child’s quality of life in so many different ways. That’s why the team from UHealth Jackson Children’s Care provides comprehensive evaluations for diagnosis and leading-edge treatment for infants, children, and adolescents with kidney disease.
Our experienced pediatric nephrology team – led by fellowship-trained, board-certified University of Miami Health System physicians and researchers – excel in the treatment of hypertension, kidney stones, nephritis and early renal failure in children.

The Comprehensive Children’s Kidney Failure Center
The Comprehensive Children’s Kidney Failure Center is one of three centers in Florida – and the only center in southeast Florida – designed to treat children with less than 75 percent of renal function.
Part of a statewide renal program operated under contract with Children’s Medical Services, the center is uniquely suited for the needs of renal disease patients under 21 years of age. The center provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for children with kidney failure.
The Comprehensive Children’s Kidney Failure Center incorporates:
- Chronic Renal Failure Clinic
- Pediatric Dialysis Unit
- Pediatric Kidney Transplant Program, part of the Miami Transplant Institute
We help children with kidney disease and related conditions, including:
- Bed wetting (enuresis)
- Glomerulonephritis
- GU anomalies; urinary tract infections; cystic kidneys
- Hypertension
- Nephrotic syndrome; proteinuria
- Renal tubular acidosis; systemic lupus nephritis
- Vesico ureteral reflux
- Chronic renal failure and end-stage renal disease
