Outpatient clinics

Out-patient clinics for children with chronic kidney conditions are changing. From April 2024, we will have specific clinics for children who have had kidney transplants, children on home dialysis and children with advanced CKD that doesn't yet require a transplant or dialysis.

Read on for more information about how these clinics will work.

Transplant clinics will take place on Monday and Thursday mornings.

Peritoneal dialysis clinics will take place on Wednesday mornings.

CKD or "low clearance" clinics will be for children with CKD stage 4 (GFR or kidney function <30%) who are working towards having a kidney transplant.

These clinics include children with a wide range of kidney conditions from ante-natally detected conditions, urine infections, high blood pressure and follow-up for conditions like blood in the urine (haematuria).

We currently run several specialist clinics where children and their parents can see more than one specialist in the same clinic.

On arrival in clinic you will be checked in at the reception. Shortly after, you will be called by the nurse to measure your child's height, weight and blood pressure.

Please try to arrive 20 minutes before your child's appointment time.

Many children who come to kidney clinics will need a blood test and for many children the test needs to be repeated each time they come to clinic.

Nottingham Children's Hospital is part of the Queens Medical Centre (QMC) which is situated at the junction of the Nottingham ring road and the A52 Derby Road.
