Observational Study of Immune System Related Kidney Disease
This study is looking at kidney diseases that are caused by problems with the immune system, such as nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, membranous nephropathy, and lupus nephritis. Researchers want to understand more about what causes these conditions and the specific changes they create in the body. You could be eligible if you are between 10 and 99 years old and have a known or suspected immune-related kidney disease. The main goal is to collect blood and urine samples, along with information from your standard medical care, to help researchers learn more about these conditions and develop future studies. This study is ongoing and aims to enroll 2000 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information and samples from 2000 participants over time without providing specific treatments.
- What's involved
- You would provide blood and urine samples, and information from your standard medical care would be collected.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Biospecimens will be collected on an ongoing basis.

What this trial measures
- Provision of biospecimensongoing
Patients with autoimmune diseases for whom there are no current experimental treatment protocols can be admitted for study and follow-up; they will provide a ready pool of candidates who can be asked to provide blood specimens for ongoing laboratory studies.
