About Us
The Pediatric Nephrology and Dialysis team at Children’s Nebraska provides specialized care for children with kidney diseases. Our team of experienced nephrologists, nurses and dialysis technicians work closely with families to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each child's unique needs. We offer both in-center and home dialysis options, ensuring comprehensive support and care throughout the dialysis process. With a focus on innovation, comfort and family-centered care, we strive to improve the quality of life for children living with kidney conditions and help them thrive.
Dialysis can be overwhelming, especially for children. They may have questions or feel anxious about this new experience. As members of the only pediatric dialysis center in the area, our team of experienced dialysis specialists is dedicated to educating you and your family about your child’s dialysis treatment.
Our pediatric nephrologists are board-certified. This means they have the highest level of training and are especially knowledgeable about the unique needs of children. In addition to nephrologists, our dialysis team includes:
Dialysis registered nurses (RNs) who oversee your child’s dialysis treatment, ensure medications are given correctly and educate you and your child about any at-home care they may need
A nursing case manager who coordinates and monitors your child’s treatment plan
A dialysis unit supervisor who manages the dialysis unit to ensure each child is receiving the best treatment possible
A biomedical technician who makes sure all dialysis equipment is working properly
Social workers who provide you, your child and your whole family with any resources you may need to address emotional, educational or financial challenges that can arise when your child needs dialysis
Dieticians who provide education and guidance on your child’s special nutritional needs before, during and after dialysis
We are also a member of the SCOPE (Standardized Care to Improve Outcomes in Pediatric Endstage Renal Disease) Dialysis Collaborative. The SCOPE Collaborative works to develop the most effective treatment plans for children who need dialysis. Our involvement with SCOPE helps us keep your child safe, prevent dialysis-related infections and live a healthy, happy life.
