Personalized diagnosis for rare kidney diseases
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses genetic testing to find the cause of rare kidney diseases. It is for people with unexplained kidney problems, a family history of kidney disease, or certain findings on ultrasound. The goal is to provide a more personalized diagnosis and see if this approach is cost-effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have protein or blood in your urine that is not explained by a kidney biopsy or has not gotten better with standard treatments like steroids.
- You have a family history of kidney disease or your parents were related by blood.
- You have health problems outside the kidney that may be linked to a rare disease.
- An ultrasound showed you have at least two cysts in each kidney, or your kidneys appear brighter than normal, or you have calcium deposits in the kidneys.
- You have a long-term acid or base imbalance in your blood, or abnormal calcium or phosphate levels that are not due to another known cause.
- You are willing to share your medical information and sign a consent form.

This trial looks at ways to predict how kidney disease may develop, change, or cause complications using information from patients. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk and tailor care earlier.
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 tests whether genetic testing early in the care of chronic kidney disease can help find the cause. It may help guide treatment and let family members know if they are at risk.
This study creates a registry to collect health information from people with rare kidney diseases. It aims to improve understanding and future treatments by tracking patient experiences.
This study uses genetic testing to look for inherited (“monogenic”) reasons some people get kidney stones. It may help explain the cause of stones and calcium-related problems, which can guide future care for you or your family.
This study uses RNA sequencing to find genetic causes of rare diseases that standard DNA tests might miss. It may help people who have symptoms of a rare disease but no clear genetic diagnosis yet.
