Suffering From Polycystic Kidney Disease. Neurologist Recommended To See A Specialist. Advice

I was looking into a nephrologist background that I will be seeing tomorrow. I have polycystic kidney disease in my right kidney (only one) and my kidney function was 13 in January. My neurologist has recommended me seeing a specialist fairly quickly as I just moved back from Fl 6 months ago where I was being monitored as well. I am apprahensive about the appointment as my sister had a transplant and ultimately passed away.
I do not have money to pay for an online consult. thank you.
