Pediatric Nephrology
Sarah Kizilbash, MBBS, Assistant Professor & Fellowship Program Director, Division of Pediatric Nephrology
The Division of Pediatric Nephrology is dedicated to providing research, training, and a network of care for children and youth with kidney diseases.
Education & Training
The Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship Training Program was established in 1965. Graduates of our program provide high quality teaching and patient care, and demonstrate a continued dedication to improved understanding of disease through research based on the philosophy acquired during their training. A remarkable number of our graduates have successfully competed for NIH funding and other independent research support.
Patient Care
We offer one of top pediatric nephrology programs in the nation, and have performed the largest number of kidney transplants in the world. We have a very active dialysis and transplant program for children with end-stage kidney failure. We also boast the highest reported infant kidney transplant success rate in the world. The pediatric nephrologists work closely with a number of other specialties including pediatric urology, transplant surgery, pediatric psychology, nutrition, and social work to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the care of children with kidney disease.
