Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

Children with kidney disease and their families should be educated about the importance of potential benefits of routine psychological evaluations through the chronic kidney disease course. Peer groups of children with chronic kidney disease enable participants to share their experiences and support each other during this time of maturation.
