- Chronic Urinary Tract Infections
-
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in children. Recurrent or chronic urinary tract infections can lead to permanent renal cortical scarring and long-term complications such as hypertension and chronic renal failure. At AdventHealth for Children our expert medical team and network of pediatric specialists develop tailored treatment plans to protect children from these serious long-term complications.
- One Comprehensive Pediatric Network
-
Our team of nephrology specialists and surgeons are connected to an extensive local network of pediatric specialists and imaging centers to support your child with expert care from diagnosis through healing.
- Kidney Transplant Management
-
The AdventHealth Transplant Institute offers a unique single-incision minimally invasive surgical procedure for living donor kidney transplants. It’s always our goal to help heal with shorter recovery times, reduced scarring and lower risks of complications. We are the second in the world to utilize this innovative procedure that helps our patients heal faster and get back to living their best life. Learn more about Pediatric Kidney Transplants here.
