AB Essentials  of  DiagnosisCongenital  or  inherited  disorders  are  the  most  common  causes  of  renal  failure  in  children.The  etiology  of  renal  failure  plays  a  very  important  role  in  the  management  of  patients  with  ESRD.Essentials  of  ManagementRRT  includes  hemodialysis,  peritoneal  dialysis,  and  renal  transplantation.The  decision  of  the  modality  to  be  used  is  multifactorial  and  based  on  the  individual  patient.For  long-term  dialysis,  an  arteriovenous  fistula  or  graft  is  preferable  to  a  hemodialysis  catheter.Peritoneal  dialysis  catheters  are  preferred  in  small  children  with  small  caliber  vessels.Renal  transplantation  is  ultimately  the  best  treatment  for  children  with  ESRD.
