Rady Children’s Comprehensive Kidney Care Center treats children and young adults up to 21 years of age with kidney disease. We offer a full array of services along the age continuum, from prenatal counseling and initial diagnosis to renal replacement therapy, to the transition to adult nephrology services. Providers treat a variety of genetic causes of cystic kidney disease, including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, HNF1B-associated cystic kidney disease and other less common forms of genetic cystic kidney disease.

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.

Supported by the National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDKD) , our physician-scientists are part of one of only seven federally funded centers in the country dedicated to making state-of-the-art technologies and resources available for researchers who are investigating areas related to kidney disease.
Part of our effort includes finding genetic factors for early detection, expansion of the international kidney transplant registry, and a study defining the genetic basis of ongoing drug-induced kidney injury.
We provide services for patients with kidney disease, including diagnosis and management of kidney diseases and medical management of renal transplantation.
