Kidney genetic testing

At NY Kidney, we offer advanced kidney genetic testing services in collaboration with Natera, a leading provider of genetic testing and diagnostics.

What is Kidney Genetic Testing?

Kidney genetic testing involves analyzing your DNA to detect genetic mutations and variations associated with hereditary kidney diseases. This testing can help in:
Early Detection:
Identifying genetic predispositions to kidney disease before symptoms appear, enabling proactive management.
Accurate Diagnosis:
Providing a precise diagnosis of inherited kidney conditions, such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD) or Alport syndrome.
Personalized Treatment:
Tailoring treatment plans based on genetic findings to improve outcomes and manage disease progression effectively.
Family Planning:
Offering valuable information for family members who may be at risk, helping them make informed health and lifestyle choices.

How It Works:

Kidney genetic testing involves analyzing your DNA to detect genetic mutations and variations associated with hereditary kidney diseases. This testing can help in:
Consultation:
Schedule an appointment with our nephrologist to discuss your medical history and determine if genetic testing is appropriate for you.
Sample Collection:
A simple blood or saliva sample is collected and sent to Natera for analysis.
Results Interpretation:
Our genetic counselors review the test results with you, explaining the findings and their implications for your health.
Personalized Plan:
Based on the results, our team develops a personalized care plan, which may include monitoring, preventive measures, or specific treatments.
