[Pediatric nephrology: What should an adult nephrologist know about these diseases?].

In nephrology, some diseases begin specifically during childhood; however, they must be known by adult nephrologists so that to ensure continuity and homogeneity for their management. The aim of this review is therefore to propose a brief overview of the main pediatric diseases, for which a specific knowledge is warranted, and notably pediatric idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, cystinosis, primary hyperoxaluria and hereditaries tubulopathies.
