Management of CKD in children involves a multidisciplinary approach:
- Medications: To control blood pressure, manage anemia, and address electrolyte imbalances. - Dietary modifications: Including low sodium, potassium, and phosphorus diets. - Growth hormone: Therapy may be used in cases of severe growth retardation. - Dialysis: For advanced stages (Stage 5), either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis may be initiated. - Kidney transplantation: Considered the definitive treatment for ESRD.
