In this episode of Life as a Nephrology Professional, host Anna Gaddy is joined by Dr. Ali Gharavi, Dr. Alexander Chang, and Dr. Neera Dahl to discuss the role of genetic testing in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD). With an estimated 10-20% of adult CKD cases having a genetic basis, genetic testing is increasingly essential for risk stratification, family counseling, prognosis, and even donor selection. The NKF recently convened a workgroup of experts to establish guidelines for genetic testing in nephrology. Our guests, who contributed to these recommendations, will explore practical applications, the importance of nephrologists in patient counseling, and resources for integrating genetics into clinical practice and training. Tune in to learn how nephrology is evolving in this post-Human Genome Project era.
