Nephrology Genetic Testing

Nephrology Genetic Testing

Nephrology Genetic Testing is a specialized diagnostic tool used to identify genetic mutations or abnormalities that affect kidney function and development. This test helps detect inherited kidney disorders such as polycystic kidney disease, Alport syndrome, and nephrotic syndrome. By analyzing DNA from blood or saliva, it reveals genetic variants linked to kidney dysfunction, helping with early diagnosis, risk assessment, and personalized treatment planning. It is especially useful in pediatric cases, family history evaluations, or unexplained chronic kidney diseases. Genetic insights can guide transplant decisions, improve outcomes, and inform relatives of potential hereditary risks, supporting proactive kidney health management.

Why Choose This Nephrology Genetic Testing?

Choosing Nephrology Genetic Testing offers precise insights into the underlying genetic causes of kidney-related disorders, enabling early and accurate diagnosis. This testing can distinguish between hereditary and non-hereditary kidney conditions, helping tailor more effective and personalized treatment plans. It is particularly valuable for families with a history of kidney disease, unexplained kidney dysfunction, or early-onset renal symptoms. Early identification of genetic mutations can prevent unnecessary procedures, guide transplant planning, and allow for timely interventions to slow disease progression. Additionally, it empowers patients and families with vital information for long-term health decisions and genetic counseling for future generations.

When Is It Used?
Who Should Consider Nephrology Genetic Testing?

Individuals with a personal or family history of kidney disease should consider nephrology genetic testing to identify potential hereditary causes. It is especially beneficial for those with early-onset, unexplained, or progressive kidney disorders that do not have a clear diagnosis. Children with congenital kidney anomalies, individuals with syndromic features involving multiple organs, or patients undergoing evaluation for kidney transplantation may also benefit. Identifying genetic causes can improve clinical management, guide family planning, and inform at-risk relatives.

How is the Test Performed?
Our Services
Just a few of the many health issues we screen for
Polycystic Kidney Disease

Causes fluid-filled cysts in kidneys, leading to progressive kidney enlargement and loss of function over time.

Alport Syndrome

Affects kidney filters, causing blood in urine, hearing loss, and progressive kidney failure, often inherited from one parent.

Nephrotic Syndrome

Leads to protein loss in urine, swelling, and kidney damage due to abnormalities in kidney filtering units.

Bartter Syndrome

Affects salt reabsorption in kidneys, resulting in low potassium levels, dehydration, and growth delays in children.

Gitelman Syndrome

A mild salt-wasting disorder causing low potassium and magnesium, often with fatigue, cramps, and low blood pressure.

Fabry Disease

A rare inherited disorder where fat builds up in cells, damaging kidneys, heart, and nervous system over time.
