Study kidney samples to understand autoimmune, inflammatory, and diabetic disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial collects and studies kidney tissue samples to better understand what drives kidney problems linked to autoimmune, inflammation, and diabetes. Your participation may help researchers develop better ways to diagnose and treat these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be willing and able to give informed consent (agree to take part)
- You must fit one of these sample groups: have a kidney biopsy done for medical reasons, or a transplant where a biopsy is planned
- If you have diabetes and kidney disease, you may qualify if you have not had a kidney biopsy
- If you already had a biopsy, the tissue must not be stored in this biobank (for the non-tissue group)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study collects and stores kidney biopsy samples (and related information) to help researchers understand kidney diseases. You may be able to join if you are already scheduled for a kidney biopsy and can consent.
This study collects and studies kidney tissue (from a biopsy or surgery) from people with diabetes-related kidney disease to learn more about the condition. You may be able to help if you've already had a kidney biopsy or certain kidney surgeries.
This study builds a kidney tissue “library” to help researchers analyze kidney disease in newer ways. It may help by improving how glomerular (kidney filter) diseases are understood over time, using samples from people who already had a biopsy.
This trial tests a new system to manage diabetic kidney disease across all stages. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who either have no kidney damage or have kidney damage confirmed by a biopsy.
This study aims to learn more about diabetic nephropathy (kidney problems caused by diabetes) using planned kidney tissue samples. You may benefit by helping researchers understand the disease better, and you may be eligible if you already have a medically needed kidney biopsy scheduled.
This study collects health information and biological samples to better understand kidney disease and support future kidney research. It may help your care indirectly by improving how kidney conditions are recognized and studied.
