In this episode of the PKD Dietician podcast, host Diana Bruen talks with guest Emily Fraser about family planning with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Emily shares her journey, including her decision to use IVF and preimplantation genetic testing (PTM) to conceive a child without ADPKD.  We discuss the IVF process, and the emotional and ethical considerations often involved. The episode highlights the importance of genetic testing and the support available for those seeking to prevent passing PKD to their children.
