Abstract
It is important to appreciate that the recent advances in nutritional management over the past two decades (19-22) have added to the longevity and the "joie de vivre" of children with chronic renal failure. The significant advances in vitamin D therapy and new treatment of complications in long-term maintenance dialysis have provided the pediatric nephrologist with new avenues of management.
