Integrated multi-omics approaches to precision medicine in kidney disease (iMAP-Kidney)
Brief description of study
The primary objective of the study is to establish a biorepository (tissue bank) for the storage of plasma, serum, DNA, RNA, urine, and fresh tissue from kidney and kidney allograft biopsies, from patients undergoing kidney biopsy. This objective will be accomplished through the following: 1) establishing a clinical registry containing information linked from the patient’s medical record; 2) digitizing kidney histology slides from kidney tissue biopsies; 3) obtaining leftover archival tissue if extra fresh tissue collection is deemed unsafe by the physician, if the patient is pregnant, or if the patient refuses extra tissue collection and 4) allowing for accessibility to newly obtained samples for related studies.
