FIFE

Kidney Kids Scotland has for the past year funded a Dietician to give dedicated time to children with renal/urology problems. This dietician has been working with children suffering from renal failure and urology problems encouraging adequate intake of potassium, sodium, phosphorus and fluid as needed. Every child is different and so it is the aim of our Charity that these children should be given individual attention, tailored to their particular needs. Kidney Kids Scotland will be funding this post for a Second Year.

 A portable Bladder Scanner has been supplied in the Fife area. This will enable children to be scanned locally without having to travel Edinburgh, making a huge difference to the day to day life of the families in this area. The use of Bladder Scanners has also cut the need in many cases of children  being catheterized.

It is our aim that children should be treated in their home environment where possible.
