CORE Kidney at UCLA Health
UCLA PKD Program was established in 2010 with one goal – to fulfill the unmet need in care for ADPKD patients. At that time, what was quite obvious to Dr Rastogi and his team at UCLA that the care for a ADPKD patient was fragmented. PKD program was established to provide true comprehensive integrated care where all aspects of ADPKD and kidney disease were addressed by a team with special interest in ADPKD. 13 years on, we have one of the largest programs globally with patients coming from all walks and corners of the world. We work very closely with other sub-specialties making sure there is true coordination of care. Please below some of the specialties that participate in our PKD program. Besides clinical care, we are heavily focused on clinical research, outreach and education – the CORE principles of the UCLA CORE Kidney program at UCLA which the PKD program is a part of. Patient advocacy and support is one of our major strengths with our ambassadors matched to appropriate patients, there stage and needs. We also recently established the Reproductive Nephrology Program at UCLA to address the family planning needs for patients with ADPKD. We serve as local, regional, national and international resources for HCPs, patients and their families. Our program was also instrumental in helping other programs establish themselves as well Dedicated team with appointments offered in a very reasonable time – both in-person and tele-medicine Sub-specialties offered – genetics, hepatology, radiology, cardiology, neurosurgery, transplant, dialysis, reproductive endocrinology, pain management, pediatrics, and psychiatry. Supportive services – support groups, dietitian, psychologists and kidney educators All specialties available if needed like oncology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, dermatology, pulmonology and infectious diseases Two dedicated hospitals – Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and UCLA Santa Monica Hospital.
