Renal Genetic Counseling

Renal genetic counseling is a process that helps individuals and families understand genetic conditions related to kidney health. It involves assessing personal and family medical histories, discussing the risk of inherited kidney diseases, and interpreting genetic test results. Counselors provide information on how these conditions can affect health, guide decisions regarding family planning, and suggest management options. This counseling aims to empower patients with knowledge, helping them make informed choices about their health and the health of future generations. It’s an important resource for those concerned about genetic influences on kidney disease.
