Overview
Brief Summary
This is a study with 2 parts. Part 1 comprises a visit to collect biological samples necessary for the molecular characterization of chronic kidney disease. Part 2 comprises an observational period of 5 visits over a period up to 8 weeks. During Part 2, baseline tests will be conducted, and urine will be collected approximately every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. Patients may participate in Part 1, Part 2, or both, and will be followed for up to 1 year consisting of data collection from the patient's medical records and home collection of urine samples every 4 months.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •For FSGS/TR-MCD patients :
- •Competent and willing to provide informed consent and adhere to all study assessments and restrictions.
- •Male or female ≥ 18 years of age with FSGS or TR-MCD at the time of providing written informed consent.
- •Diagnosis of FSGS or TR-MCD, based on either biopsy or genetic testing.
- •Urinary protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥ 1.0 g/g.
- •Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m
- •For DN patients:
- •Competent and willing to provide informed consent and adhere to all study assessments and restrictions.
- •Male or female ≥ 18 years of age with DN at the time of providing written informed consent.
- •Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes
Exclusion Criteria
- •For FSGS/TR-MCD patients:
- •Evidence of another kidney disease or kidney disease secondary to an infectious process.
- •History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. Patients whose results are compatible with prior immunization or treatment may be included.

- •History of malignancy not in remission within the last 5 years other than adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ.
- •History of any organ or bone marrow transplant, including kidney grafts.
- •History of alcoholism or drug/chemical abuse within 12 months.
