A Renal Genetic Counseling Clinic specializes in helping individuals and families understand the genetic aspects of kidney diseases. Genetic counselors in these clinics provide information about how genetics may influence kidney health, assess family histories, and guide patients on testing options. They help interpret test results and discuss potential risks for family members. The goal is to empower patients with knowledge, support them in decision-making, and connect them with resources for managing their health in the context of genetic conditions related to the kidneys.
