About us
The BDA Paediatric Kidney Dietitian Specialist Sub-Group (formerly the BDA Paediatric Renal Sub-Group, PRiNG) is a sub-group of the BDA Paediatric Specialist Group. It consists of experienced paediatric dietitians with expertise in a range of childhood diseases affecting the kidneys including children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2-5 and those on dialysis, acute kidney injury, nephrotic syndrome, tubular disorders and other rare kidney disorders. Although the majority of the group is made up of dietitians working in the 13 paediatric renal units across the UK, dietitians who have an interest in kidney disease are welcome to join.
