The Whole-System Nephrogenomic Profile

Because restoration starts with understanding.

Your kidneys are communicating. Genomics is how we learn to listen, not to predict a fixed future, but to understand the terrain you are working with, so the plan we build together fits the body you actually have. The kidney is a downstream organ, so the genes that shape its trajectory are largely not kidney genes; they are the metabolic, inflammatory, detox, hormonal, nutritional and gut systems upstream. That is what whole-system means.

Two Reports, Two Questions

One profile, delivered as two complementary reports

They answer two different things, and we keep them visibly distinct, so a functional finding is never read as a diagnosis, and no result is ever mistaken for another.

Report One

Inherited Findings

Is there an inherited cause?

Whole-genome analysis reads your complete genetic code for clinically significant variants across the nephrology diagnostic gene set:

  • Inherited kidney conditions, including polycystic kidney disease and Alport syndrome
  • The APOL1 risk variants, which carry meaningful implications for people of West African ancestry
  • Primary hyperoxaluria and inherited stone and electrolyte disorders
  • Other pathogenic or likely-pathogenic findings

A finding here can change the direction of care: it may clarify a diagnosis that has been uncertain for years, inform which treatments are appropriate, and give family members information they did not have. An absence of findings is also information, it narrows the field.

This report is performed and clinically reported by the sequencing laboratory. APOL1 is reported here, in Report One.

Report Two · Precision Nephrology™

Functional Findings

How is your system working, and what does it need?

Most kidney decline is not caused by a single gene. It emerges from how your whole system handles pressure, inflammation, oxidative stress, detoxification, nutrients, hormones and blood sugar over years. Approximately 185 genes across 35 sections, organized into nine chapters:

  • Renal Core — filtration and the blood-pressure / RAAS system
  • Cardiometabolic — lipids, vascular function, blood sugar, weight, cellular energy
  • Immune, Inflammation & Defense — inflammatory tone, histamine, antioxidant capacity
  • Detoxification & Environment — how you clear medications and toxins
  • Nutrigenomics — methylation, vitamins, iron and minerals, food response
  • Gut & Microbiome — the gut–kidney axis
  • Hormones — thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones, growth
  • Eye & Skin — the microvascular and structural systems that share kidney pathways
  • Whole-Person Systems — bone, longevity, stress, mood, cognition, sleep, movement

These findings are tendencies, not verdicts, and not a diagnosis. They tell us where your system is likely working harder than it should be, which is precisely where change makes the most difference.

What This Maps Onto

The HEAL Protocol

The functional report is organized around the HEAL Protocol, so what we learn translates directly into what we do.

What Arrives at Your Door

Everything, considered

From the at-home collection kit to the two reports and your HEAL Protocol guide, prepared to the standard the work deserves.

The Process

Simple to begin, thorough where it counts

1

Collect at home

A saliva or cheek swab, no blood draw. Your kit is everything you need.

2

Results in about three weeks

Both reports are prepared and quality-checked before we sit down with you.

3

Reviewed together

In a dedicated consultation you leave with your results explained in plain language and a plan built from them.

What Genomics Is, and What It Isn't

Your DNA holds roughly 25,000 genes across three billion units of code. Small variations shape how your body makes hormones, handles inflammation, clears toxins and uses nutrients. These are not defects, they are the specific way your system is built, and most of what they describe can be worked with. Genomics is one input among several: it sits alongside your labs, your history and your symptoms; it does not replace them, and it does not predict what will happen to you. It tells us where to look more closely.

Important

Genetic findings are always interpreted in the context of your full clinical picture, and no treatment or medication is ever started, stopped or changed based on genomic results alone.

Before any testing, we walk you through a full consent that covers exactly what the analysis includes and how your results are handled, so nothing is ever a surprise.
