Overview
I take care of children with disorders affecting the kidney and urinary tract, including high blood pressure, inherited kidney diseases, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and abnormalities in the urine, such as blood and protein. I also take care of children with kidney failure requiring dialysis and transplant. It is important to me to not only treat a child’s disease but maximize their quality of life. I find it rewarding to be an advocate, educator, and source of support for my patients and their families throughout their medical journey.

Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Children's Health Center Kidney Transplant Clinic
I am a pediatric nephrologist and work with children with kidney disease. Some of the conditions that we see include congenital malformations of the kidney and the bladder, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney filters), and children who are on dialysis or who received kidney transplantation because of kidney failure. I listen carefully to parents when they bring their children to the clinic because they know their children better than any other person, and they are the best advocates for their child. I collaborate a lot with the other doctors in the clinic. Rest assured, when you visit our clinic and I am not around, the doctor who is seeing you knows everything about your child. This is a group practice with a very caring multidisciplinary team. Dr. Gbadegesin is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of IgA Nephropathy.
