Biobank study collecting samples about kidney health in Black adults
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study builds a research “bank” (biorepository) of blood and other samples from Black adults with different stages of kidney health, including people with kidney disease and people without known kidney disease. It may help researchers better understand kidney risk and causes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a Black adult (African American, Afro-Caribbean, or other Black identity)
- You are able and willing to share samples for kidney research (biorepository)
- You either have kidney disease at any stage or you have no known kidney disease
- If you are a control (no kidney disease), you must be age 50 or older
- You should not have diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease caused by diabetes)

This trial collects and stores health information and samples related to kidney transplants from both donors and recipients. It may help researchers better understand transplant outcomes and improve care in the future.
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 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 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 study tests a program to help Black patients with advanced kidney disease learn about their condition and treatment options. It aims to see if this learning program can improve health outcomes.
This study collects samples and health information from adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who are having their own kidney removed. It helps researchers learn more about ADPKD and its genetic changes to support future treatments.
