Patient Stories
A young patient with kidney issues finds answers at Children's Health
When Lainey was just 3 years old, her mom, Shannon, noticed she had blood in her urine. Sensing something was wrong, she brought Lainey to her pediatrician who suspected she might have a bladder or urinary tract infection. But after three weeks of negative cultures and no relief from her symptoms, Lainey was referred to the Pediatric Nephrology Department at Children's Health in search of answers.
More Details
Children should not make kidney stones. Here at Children’s Health℠, we see about 300 new pediatric patients each year with their first kidney stone. Children with stones need careful, personalized testing and treatment designed specifically for their medical problem that is causing them to make stones.
