About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

A central goal of this data repository is to collect data from a large population of subjects with a variety of renal disease states. Cohorts will include subjects with diabetes, inflammatory/autoimmune and transplant related renal conditions. Additionally, the repository will have the capacity to store biospecimens and electronic data in control subjects without established renal disease. This initiative will provide an opportunity to compare data from various disease states and controls with the objective of determining clinical and biological factors that predict disease progression, response to therapy and identify discriminating noninvasive clinical and biological features that predict renal biopsy findings.

The 3 groups in the trial

  • Native, Renal Tissue Preservation Group

    Subjects who have a renal biopsy and the tissue is possessed and maintained by the RENAL AID repository.

  • Native, Non-tissue Preservation Group

    1. Subjects who have had a renal biopsy but the tissue is not held by RENAL AID repository; and/or 2. Subjects with diabetes and renal disease who have not had a renal biopsy.

  • Transplant Nephropathy Group

    Subjects who have had a renal transplant and require a transplant biopsy for either surveillance or "for-cause" indications.
