Help us Help Kids! Support Pediatric Medical Research at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
"After months of high fevers, antibiotics, and countless extended hospital stays and ER trips, no one was able to offer us a permanent solution to correcting our daughter’s complex urinary condition until we came to Johns Hopkins and met pediatric urology specialist Dr. Ming-Hsien Wang. Ten months later, Addey is...well, you can see for yourself in the picture. We owe it all to Dr. Wang and her team - without her research to develop such game-changing procedures and treatments, none of this would have been possible."

It has been reported that the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTI) in children younger than 6 years is 3-7% for girls and 1- 2% for boys.
Studies on UTIs are important because the disease not only causes acute illness, but can also result in long-term complications such as hypertension and reduced renal function. One of the many challenges in the treatment and prevention of UTIs is the rising rate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria due to the widespread use of antibiotics.
Dr. Ming-Hsien Wang is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Urology at Johns Hopkins, whose research focus is on children with urinary tract infections, a common infection in infants and young children. Dr. Wang is collaborating with other Johns Hopkins faculty to study how infections develop in the urinary tract and establish safer protocols for the evaluation of children with UTIs.
With the reduction in national funding for medical research, especially in pediatric medical research, what Dr. Wang does is only made possible through the support of men and women who deeply care about the health and well-being of all children. Please make a contribution to impact the lives of all the kids who struggle with the pain and discomfort that can accompany these complex conditions.
