UCSD Nephrology has multiple clinical sites in San Diego County and beyond. The two sites listed above are in close proximity to the two UCSD Hospitals and cater to the majority of patients. Nephrologists with expertise and interest in ADPKD are present at these locations during 5 half day clinic sessions per week. These sites also have onsite RN, LVN trained in the specifics of ADPKD, include patient navigation, referrals for testing, enrollment for REMS, prior authorization approval and rapid turn around time for patient correspondence. Given the proximity to the hospital, imaging and subspecialty care including pain management, urology, hepatology, infectious disease, and neurosurgery are also located at the same location as nephrology. This allows for ADPKD patients with complex needs to be seen at one location.
