Our approach
Facing kidney disease isn't easy, especially when you have questions. At the M Health Fairview Genetic Kidney Disease Clinic, our kidney specialists and genetic counselors provide the latest in diagnosis and treatment to patients and families affected by genetic kidney diseases. We emphasize education and counseling, so that you, your family, and your health care providers can better understand and manage your health. We are here to help.
We offer consultations with a kidney specialist and genetic counselor with expertise in genetic kidney diseases for diagnosis, genetic testing, and counseling. If a specific genetic disease is suspected based on family history or classic presenting features, targeted genetic testing can be facilitated. We also provide consultation when a genetic cause of kidney disease is suspected, but not clear. We provide recommendations for treatment and follow-up as well as guidance to referring nephrologists and other providers.
Patients will be given the opportunity to participate in clinical research if available for their condition.
