The Department

Our unit has got 3 Reference Center labels and is member of the following rare disease networks: 

  • Rare Renal Diseases Néphrogones, French ORKID network
  • Calcium and Phosphate rare diseases reference center, French OSCAR network
  • European Rare Renal Diseases center, in the European ERK-Net network

We are in charge of around 8 million inhabitants in Centre-East France. Half of dialyzed children are on in-center online hemodiafiltration (7 beds) and half on chronic at home peritoneal automated dialysis. During the past 5 years we performed more than 100 renal transplantations, thereof 7 combined liver and kidney transplantations.


The conventional hospitalization unit (18 beds) is common with pediatric rheumatology (Pr Alexandre Belot) and neurology (Pr Vincent Desportes). Our team is associated with Pr Laurence Dubourg renal physiology unit and we perform routinely iohexol clearance measures and functional renal explorations. Our lab activity is centered on calcium and phosphate metabolism and bone disease in CKD.
