University of Michigan Nephrology Research BioBank for Chronic Kidney Disease
This study, called the "Nephrology Research BioBank," aims to collect kidney tissue samples to help researchers better understand chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD affects millions of people, and many cases have unknown causes. By studying these tissue samples, researchers hope to discover new ways to identify and treat kidney diseases. You may be able to join this study if you are a man, woman, or child undergoing a kidney and/or pancreas biopsy at the University of Michigan. The study is observational, meaning researchers will collect information without giving you any specific treatments. The goal is to create a resource for future studies on the genetics and biology of kidney disease.
