Clinical Trials

Overview

About this study

The purposee of this study is to identify patients with biopsy-proven renal diseases that might have antibodies directed against kidney-antigens, or other circulating biomarkers, that contribute to disease pathogenesis including, but not limited to: amyloidosis, acute tubular necrosis, diabetic nephropathy, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis, IgA nephropathy, interstitial nephritis, membranous nephropathy, minimal change disease, immunoglobulin- and complement-mediated glomerular disease, and ANCA vasculitis.  Serum (up to 10 ml) will be obtained within two weeks of renal biopsy either as waste from the Mayo Clinic Rochester Central Clinical Laboratory or a referring laboratory, or if stored serum is not available from a prospective blood draw after patient consent.  The serum will be biobanked in the Clinical Specialty Laboratory for current and future test development and/or research studies.
