The Association of Nephropatic children came about in 1978 by a small group of doctors and entrepreneurs from Milan given the lack of services of Nephrology and Pediatric dialysis in Milan.

The Complex Operating Nephrology and Pediatric Dialysis Unit is custom made for children.

The Association has been carrying out intense clinical activities in favor of children with renal diseases since 1978. For the past 5 years they have carried out an average of 3,800 nephrological visits, 3,100 extracorporeal dialysis sessions, 6,000 peritoneal dialysis sessions, 320-day hospital visits and 200 hospital stays, per year. An average of 12 children per year have received a renal transplant and as of today there have been a total of 133 children who have received transplants and who are being cared for by the Operating Unit.

There are 6,500 members who actively contribute to helping us reach our goals.

Our main activity is in support of the Complex Operating Nephrology and Pediatric Dialysis Unit, the Simple Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the Pediatric Departmental Urology Operating Unit, the Pediatric ER and the Pediatric Urology Operating Unit.
