Advanced Genetic Testing for Polycystic Kidney Disease at Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys, leading to kidney failure and other complications. Early detection through genetic testing can guide medical management and inform family planning decisions. At Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office, we offer advanced genetic testing services to screen for PKD, helping you make informed decisions about your family planning.
How Testing Works
- Consultation: We review your medical and family history, and your plans for a family.
- Counseling: We explain the test, what the results can and cannot show, and your options.
- Testing: A blood or saliva sample is sent for laboratory analysis.
- Results: We go through your results with you and discuss the next steps.
If you are having IVF, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) can check embryos for certain inherited conditions before transfer. Testing has limits, and we will explain them during your consultation.
