Pediatric kidney transplantation part 185



Why do research in children?

Many studies have been done to evaluate treatment in adult kidney transplant patients, but more needs to be done in pediatric kidney transplant patients. In addition, medications, devices, and treatments are often not as well tested in children, especially children with kidney transplants.

In a nutshell,,, children are not little adults. We need to think about how a child's brain and body are developing, as well as the way that medications and other treatments are handled in child's body over time.
