Polycystic and Hereditary Kidney Disease
Multiple kidney cysts or kidney disease affecting several relatives may need a hereditary assessment. We evaluate polycystic kidney disease and other inherited conditions, including Alport syndrome and selected tubular disorders.
Your Clinical Care Pathway
Care may include a family history, blood and urine tests, imaging and discussion of genetic testing.
For ADPKD, kidney size and function trends can help assess progression and whether disease-specific treatment is appropriate.
Expected benefits and limitations
Assessment can clarify the diagnosis and support a personalized monitoring and family-testing plan. Some treatments can slow progression in selected patients; they do not remove the inherited condition.
