Genes and kidney disease risk study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how genes affect kidney disease in people from diverse backgrounds. It may help researchers understand why some people get kidney disease and others don't, which could lead to better prevention and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can understand the study and agree to take part.
- You either have kidney disease now OR you don't have it but have at least one risk factor (like family history, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, kidney stones, or taking medications that can harm the kidneys).
- You agree to be followed over time (long-term monitoring).
- You agree to give blood samples when you join the study.

This study collects DNA and health information from people in the U.S. to better understand how genes may affect kidney disease. Your participation could help researchers find new ways to prevent or treat kidney problems.
This study looks at gene activity inside kidney tissue to better understand how transplanted kidneys work. Researchers will collect blood, urine, stool, and tiny pieces of kidney tissue over time to see what happens after a transplant.
This study looks at how genes affect long-term kidney transplant health. It aims to understand why some transplanted kidneys fail over time, and may help personalize care for transplant recipients.
This study is looking at how genes affect kidney transplant outcomes. It asks you to give extra blood, urine, stool, and kidney tissue samples over time, so researchers can learn more about why some transplants work better than others.
This study looks at how genetics affect the progression of kidney diseases. Joining may help researchers understand your condition better and find better treatments.
This study looks at risk factors and body “omics” information (like blood/tissue patterns) to better understand chronic kidney disease caused by metabolic diseases. It may help researchers find better ways to predict or manage kidney problems in people with these conditions.
