Understanding Risk Factors for Progressive Chronic Kidney Disease in Malawi
Worldwide, the number of people living with long-term health conditions, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), is increasing. CKD is usually asymptomatic in early stages but can progress to advanced disease, including kidney failure, causing significant morbidity and mortality. In low-income countries of sub-Saharan Africa, including Malawi, treatments for kidney failure …
APOL1 Genetic Testing in African Americans
Recent breakthroughs in medical genetics have discovered that a portion of kidney failure affecting the Black community is mediated by coding variants in a gene called apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) - and that genetic variants, not race - account for increased risk. For APOL1 genetic testing to be applied in a …
Early Screening and Diagnosis of CKD
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem. The prevalence of CKD in adults in China was 10.8%. Albuminuria measurement and estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are the primary means of screening for CKD in epidemiological investigations. However, there are many important problems to be solved, whether albuminuria …
APOL1 Long-term Kidney Transplantation Outcomes Network (APOLLO)
The APOLLO study is being done in an attempt to improve outcomes after kidney transplantation and to improve the safety of living kidney donation based upon variation in the apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1). Genes control what is inherited from a family, such as eye color or blood type. Variation in …
BIOmarkers Before and After Kidney Transplantation
In clinical nephrology, the search for urinary, blood and tissue biomarkers of specific kidney diseases is an important goal. In recent years, the use of these biomarkers has made it possible to diagnose many renal diseases that affect the native kidney. In some cases, biomarkers may be useful in determining …
Repository of Novel Analytes Leading to Autoimmune, Inflammatory and Diabetic Nephropathies (RENAL AID)
A central goal of this data repository is to collect data from a large population of subjects with a variety of renal disease states. Cohorts will include subjects with diabetes, inflammatory/autoimmune and transplant related renal conditions. Additionally, the repository will have the capacity to store biospecimens and electronic data in …
Search for New Methods to Detect Acute Renal Failure
The purpose of this study is to find substances in the blood and urine that indicate that a person has kidney damage. It will identify proteins found only in patients with acute kidney failure but not in normal healthy people or in patients with volume depletion. Adults and children who …
Cooperative Assessment of Late Effects for SCD Curative Therapies
Sickle Cell Disease is one of the most common genetic diseases in the United States, occurring in approximately 1 in 400 births. Approximately 100,000 individuals are diagnosed with SCD in the United States. Mortality for children with SCD has decreased substantially over the past 4 decades, with >99% of those …
Genetics in the Progression of Nephropathies
This study evaluates the role of genetic in the development and progression of different nephropaties with particular attention to: AKI CKD Hypertension ADPKD CKD-MBD Patients with decompensated heart failure undergoing either medical or surgery therapy Patients with hematologic cancer exposed to chemotherapeutic agents or undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation glomerular …
National Registry of Rare Kidney Diseases
The goal of this National Registry is to is to collect information from patients with rare kidney diseases, so that it that can be used for research. The purpose of this research is to: Develop Clinical Guidelines for specific rare kidney diseases. These are written recommendations on how to diagnose …
