| | Kidney Failure in Children |
 | | Kidney failure can lead directly to more health problems, like swelling of the body, bone deformities, and growth failure. | | | Families caring for a child with kidney disease often need help--not just from doctors and nurses, but from a whole team of pediatric specialists, including dietitians, social workers, and family counselors. | | | Your child's pediatrician is likely to be the first to recognize a kidney problem--either during a routine physical exam or while treating an ailment. |

| | That your center has 35 years experience with kidney transplants is of no consequence if my surgeon has only done fifteen in his or her career. | | | A normal vein cannot tolerate the 16-gauge needles that must be inserted into the arm during hemodialysis, so the doctor must surgically connect a vein in the wrist with an artery, forming a bulging fistula that will better accommodate the large needles needed for treatment. | | | For those ESRD patients who can handle the stresses of transplant surgery, the resulting gains in physical well-being add up to real improvement in quality of life and overall longevity. |

| | The standard therapy for kidney failure in veterinary medicine is diuresis using subcutaneous fluids on a long-term basis or sporadically as necessary. | | | If you wish to correspond with someone who has been through this procedure, I think that clients of ours who have a cat with a donated kidney would be willing to talk with you. | | | Since you were so accurate in your last assessment, I was wondering how this diagnosis strikes you and what else I might be able to do (medicines, etc.) to help out the situation. |
