Top-Ranked Pediatric Hospitals for Nephrology
These are the 51 top-ranked centers for children with serious kidney disorders. Survival following kidney transplant, biopsy complications, and overall infection prevention were among the factors making up 75 percent of the score, based mostly on data from a U.S. News survey of children's hospitals. The other 25 percent reflects how many of 450 pediatric nephrologists surveyed in 2010, 2011, and 2012 recommended the hospital. How We Rank Children's Hospitals
