Kidney Diseases in Children
When kidney function gradually and persistently declines over time, this condition is known as chronic kidney disease. It is a disease that comes with getting older. Over time, CKD can get worse, and eventually, the kidneys may stop working.

Kidney disease can affect children in a variety of ways, from treatable conditions with short-term effects to life-threatening conditions. At Best Hospitals for Children Kidney Diseases in Nellore, acute kidney diseases can develop suddenly, last only a short amount of time, be severe and have long-lasting effects, or go away completely once the underlying problem is treated.
