Children and teens with kidney disease need quality care, guidance and hope. The pediatric nephrologists at Riley at IU Health provide a full spectrum of services and take pride in teamwork. Our staff of specialists creates individualized treatment plans for each child’s unique needs.

Kidney Care Designed for Children

Kidney Care Designed for Children

As the largest provider for diagnosing and treating children with kidney conditions in Indiana, we are experts in dealing with acute or chronic kidney disease in children. We are also the state’s largest provider of dialysis to children.

Our nephrology team is nationally recognized for its innovation, experience and expertise. Our family-centered program provides treatment, nutrition planning and education to promote success. We have the newest hemodialysis technology and provide comprehensive kidney transplant care to children of all ages.

Our transplant center is part of a nationwide pediatric kidney transplant outcomes improvement network (the Improving Renal Outcomes Collaborative, or IROC). This network seeks to improve long term health outcomes and quality of life for children with kidney transplants.
