Division of Pediatric Nephrology

Outreach

Our activities extend outside the boundaries of San Antonio. Physicians offer outpatient consultations and kidney transplants to patients all over South Texas. The Division of Nephrology maintains close working relationships with the nephrologists at Providence Sierra Hospital in El Paso, Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin, Doctors Hospital at Renaissance in Edinburg, and Rio Grande Regional Hospital in McAllen. It also provides training to families to perform peritoneal dialysis and prepare them to conduct home dialysis. Comprehensive care is provided in South Texas children under the direction of the Children’s Kidney Center staff and with help of the local primary care physicians.
