Reference Centre for Rare Kidney Diseases and Malformations of the Urogenital System
The team working in the Reference Centre for Rare Kidney Diseases and Malformations of the Urogenital System provides care to patients suffering from rare kidney and urological disorders such as:
-
Hereditary and immune glomerulopathies (idiopathic and congenital nephrotic syndrome, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, ANCA glomerulonephritis, Lupus nephritis, membranous nephropathy, C3 glomerulopathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis Alport syndrome, thin basement membrane disease, etc.);
-
Ciliopathies (ARPKD, ADPKD, juvenile nephronophthisis, HNF1b related diseases, etc.);
-
Phakomatoses with renal involvement (tuberous sclerosis, von-Hippel Lindau);
-
Tubulopathies (renal tubular acidosis, electrolyte / calcium / phosphate metabolism disorders, diabetes insipidus, nephrocalcinosis, etc.);
-
Thrombotic microangiopathies (HUS, TTP);
-
Metabolic and stone forming disorders (Fabry disease, cystinosis, oxalosis, hyperoxaluria, etc.);
-
CAKUT (renal hypo/dysplasia, obstructive nephropathies, VUR, etc.);
-
Pediatric CKD, dialysis and renal transplantation;
-
Renovascular hypertension.
Diseases treated in The Centre are planned in cooperation with other units of VUH SK, National Centre of Pathology and laboratories abroad. Patient care is organized with multidisplanry team (dietologists, psychologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, ophthalmologists, surgeons, otorhinolaryngologists, nephropathologists, radiologists and others).
