Rare congenital anomaly.
Multidisciplinary care approach.
Superior transplant
outcomes.
Posterior urethral valves is a rare congenital anomaly
that affects 1 in 8,000 baby boys. To successfully treat
this condition, CHAM nephrologists implemented a strict
diet and medication regimen that helped one baby avoid
dialysis and gain weight. Following his second birthday,
CHAM���s surgical team transplanted the boy with an adult
kidney from his mother. By taking a multidisciplinary
approach to treating chronic kidney disease, specialists
at CHAM are achieving one-year renal transplant rates
of 100 percent in children under the age of 3.
