This study will collect blood samples from people having a kidney biopsy or a kidney transplant to look for biomarkers (biological signs) that can give doctors more information about kidney health. Participating may help doctors better understand and treat kidney disease in the future.
This study tests a new blood test (called cfDNA) that may help doctors detect early signs of kidney transplant rejection before problems develop. The goal is to help keep your transplanted kidney healthy longer by catching issues early.
This study collects health and genetic information from children who have had a liver or kidney transplant, to better understand their long-term health. It aims to improve care while protecting patient privacy.
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.
