About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
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).
Disqualifiers
Pathologic diagnosis other than FSGS or MCD
FSGS or MCD secondary to a known disorder (e.g. lupus nephritis, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, malignancy)
Trial population
This study will include up to 10,000 subjects across three cohorts. Based on scoping data approximately 250 cases will be available from University of Michigan and approximately 100-350 from each additional participating site.
