Kidney biopsy patients join a kidney tissue research bank
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being evaluated for a kidney filter problem (glomerular disease)
- You had a kidney biopsy at a participating university hospital
- You can be a child (under 18) or an adult
- You have not had a kidney transplant before
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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.
This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.
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 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.
This trial studies kidney biopsy samples to learn how certain kidney cells repair damage. It may help find new treatments for kidney diseases.
This study collects and stores biological samples from people (including children) who are already getting a kidney and/or pancreas biopsy at the University of Michigan. It helps researchers better understand kidney and pancreas diseases, and participation depends on giving informed consent.
