Pediatric nephrology board preparation — 13 ABP domains from AKI to transplantation
The ASPN pediatric nephrology board review is designed for fellows and practicing pediatric nephrologists pursuing ABP certification, covering all 13 content domains across four live sessions in September and October 2023. Faculty walk through acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, dialysis, transplantation, glomerular disease, fluids and electrolytes, hypertension, and stone disease — pairing recorded lectures with downloadable slides and board-style self-assessment questions.

Inside this resource
Core pediatric nephrology domains
Acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, dialysis modalities, and transplantation represent the highest-yield board content. Faculty address age-specific considerations that differentiate pediatric from adult nephrology — fetal and neonatal kidney development, growth and puberty complications, and transition to adult care.
Glomerular disease and fluid-electrolyte management
Glomerular disease sessions cover nephrotic and nephritic syndromes specific to the pediatric population. Fluids and electrolytes modules address the unique challenges of sodium and water balance in children, while the hypertension track covers primary and secondary causes with age-specific thresholds and management approaches.
Genetics, diagnostics, and stone disease
Cystic and tubular disorders, genetic testing interpretation, and diagnostic approaches specific to pediatric populations round out the curriculum. The urology and urinary tract infection module addresses stone disease in children — a growing clinical concern requiring tailored management strategies.
Board preparation tools and scholarly activity
The course includes lecture recordings, presentation slides formatted to ABP content specifications, and a question bank designed to simulate board-style testing scenarios. A scholarly activity and research methods track addresses the academic component of pediatric nephrology practice required for certification.
Who this serves
- Pediatric nephrology fellows — preparing for initial ABP board certification
- Practicing pediatric nephrologists — recertifying or seeking a structured review of the specialty
- Adult nephrologists managing pediatric transition — understanding age-specific considerations in transitioning patients

Sarah M. –
The fetal and neonatal module was exactly what I needed for my subspecialty area. Excellent faculty presentations across all sessions.
Robert L. –
Some domains felt more detailed than others — the basic science sections could use more depth. The clinical content was strong throughout.
Jennifer K. –
during fellowship, this gave me the organized, domain-by-domain review I was missing. The lecture recordings let me study at my own pace between sessions.
Michael T. –
impressive range spanning every pediatric nephrology subspecialty area. The question bank was particularly helpful for self-assessment before exam day.
Priya S. –
cleared my pediatric nephrology boards on the first try with this course. The domain coverage aligned well with what the ABP exam actually tested.
