Finding the right nephrologist can make a positive difference in both your treatment plan and quality of life. When looking for the right specialist or clinic, here are some questions you should consider asking:

• Does your clinic primarily treat ADPKD and/or ARPKD patients?
• Is a pediatric nephrologist available?
• Do you offer any other services (such as diagnostic services or disease management)?
• Is genetic counseling an option?
• Is nutrition counseling available?
• Do you offer dialysis services?
• Are transplant services available? For children as well?
• How many transplants are performed each year?
• Does your clinic have access to clinical trials for those living with PKD? If so, which ones?
• Do you have access to other medical specialties, like hypertension or hepatology?
• How often should I get brain scans?
