Kidney care resources for families in Texas — pediatric centers, transplant programs, dialysis providers, support groups, and financial assistance. Texas is home to two of the nation's top pediatric nephrology programs. Hand-curated and independently verified.
Texas has two nationally ranked pediatric kidney programs in Houston and Dallas. West Texas, the panhandle, and the Rio Grande Valley are significantly underserved — families in those areas may travel 5–8 hours to reach specialized care.
Texas has major kidney transplant programs in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, serving the full state and neighboring regions.
National dialysis chains have extensive coverage across Texas. If you are in a rural area, ask your nephrologist about home dialysis options — peritoneal dialysis can be done at home with proper training.
Organizations providing education, advocacy, peer support, and financial assistance for kidney patients and families in Texas.
If you or your child has kidney disease, financial help is available. The American Kidney Fund's disaster relief program is particularly important for Gulf Coast families affected by hurricanes.
Texas Children's Hospital and UT Southwestern are among the most active clinical trial sites in the US for pediatric kidney disease, with NIH-funded research programs at both centers.
Nephraware's classroom kidney education program is available for Texas classrooms.
Our interactive kidney education module is designed for elementary and middle school students. Ask your school to bring it into the classroom.
Do not wait to contact your nephrologist if you believe your child or family member is having a kidney emergency. Seek emergency care first.
