The Institute of Nephrology - is committed to improving the care and treatment of children with diseases of the kidney and urinary tract. It comprises a Dialysis Unit and six clinics: General Nephrology, Hypertension, Kidney Stones, Pre-Natal Counseling, Renal Failure, and Kidney Transplantation. Each year, some 5,500 patients are treated; some 2,580 dialysis treatments are conducted, approximately 400 home dialysis treatments are remotely managed and roughly 25 kidney transplants are performed, including combined liver–kidney transplantation. Their success rates are high and on a par with leading centers in the world. Furthermore, to accommodate significant growth in patient volumes, the transplant clinic was developed to improve the continuum of care between pre and post- transplant patients, and currently the Nephrology Institute provides follow- up care for 100 children annually.
