Abstract

A diagnosis of kidney disease impacts a child, their family, and potentially their community. The complexity and chronicity of pediatric kidney disease raises ethical challenges for pediatric nephrologists, children, and their families. In this chapter we will provide an overview of medical decision-making for children with kidney disease, including considerations specific to dialysis and transplantation. We will introduce pediatric palliative care and its role in supporting children with kidney disease and their families. Finally, we will consider issues of justice within the practice of pediatric nephrology.
