Dr Rebecca Spicer

I have trained in paediatric nephrology and paediatrics in the UK, North America and across three states in Australia. I am currently a consultant paediatric nephrologist at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick.

Originally from the UK, I undertook my medical degree at the University of Bristol, and was awarded honours. I also received the university prize for paediatrics. I undertook my fellowship in paediatric nephrology at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. I obtained a masters in clinical epidemiology from the University of Toronto, Canada.

I am experienced in managing infants, children and adolescents with the whole range of acute and chronic kidney problems including:

• Urinary tract infections
• Vesicoureteric reflux
• Blood in the urine (Haematuria)
• Protein in the urine (Proteinuria)
• Nephrotic syndrome
• Congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract
• High blood pressure
• Chronic kidney disease
• Fluid and electrolyte disorders
• Kidney stones
• Glomerulonephritis
• Complement-mediated renal diseases
• Hereditary renal disease

My particular clinical interests include kidney transplantation, complement mediated disorders, IgA nephropathy and hypertension.
