Recurrence Post-transplant Observational Study in Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Minimal Change Disease

Description

The morbidity of recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD) after transplant is well-recognized and include contemporary reduction in quality of life, edema, early graft loss and mortality. Efforts to understand its mechanisms and improve its treatment have been limited by small sample sizes in single center studies and misclassification in registry studies. Recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of FSGS in the native kidney has reinvigorated the scientific community to develop a collaborative community to advance research into the epidemiology, mechanisms, interventions, and outcomes. The purpose of RESOLVE is to gather a group of people with FSGS and MCD that have had or will have a kidney transplant to create a bank of information and biospecimens so researchers can more effectively study these diseases.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Retrospective non-consented participant group had a transplant from the year 2000 and onward.
  • * Diagnosis of FSGS or MCD in the native kidney (prior to transplant).
  • * Pathologic diagnosis other than FSGS or MCD
  • * FSGS or MCD secondary to a known disorder (e.g. lupus nephritis, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, malignancy)
