Registration Number
NCT04343417
Lead Sponsor
Yale University
Brief Summary

To support advances in the understanding of pathophysiology and therapies of kidney diseases by creating a BioBank of kidney tissue, DNA, plasma, and urine from patients with kidney diseases.

Detailed Description

A biorepository of human samples to support research to advance understanding of human kidney diseases will be created. Clinically, kidney diseases are detected by blood and urine laboratory tests. However, the underlying cause of kidney disease is often not clear on blood and urine tests. In such cases, a clinician may choose to perform a kidney biopsy to establish the diagnosis. Patients who are scheduled to undergo a kidney biopsy will be invited to participate in this proposed study.
