This study, called RENAL AID, is collecting information from a large group of people with various kidney diseases, including chronic kidney failure, diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage from diabetes), lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation from lupus), and glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney's filtering units). The goal is to understand what causes these diseases to get worse, how people respond to treatments, and to find new ways to identify kidney problems without needing a biopsy. Researchers are looking at how different factors, including a mechanism called RAF, might predict disease progression over up to 10 years. You can join if you are 18 or older and willing to provide consent. Some participants will have had a kidney biopsy, while others may have diabetes and kidney disease without a recent biopsy.
