Immune System Related Kidney Disease Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Immune System Related Kidney Disease conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Immune System Related Kidney Disease Clinical research trials and Immune System Related Kidney Disease healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Immune System Related Kidney Disease. Immune System Related Kidney Disease Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Immune System Related Kidney Disease clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Immune System Related Kidney Disease condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Immune System Related Kidney Disease
For Condition: Glomerulonephritis,Lupus Nephritis,Membranous Glomerulonephritis,Nephritis,Nephrotic Syndrome
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) ,
Synopsis: Kidney diseases related to the immune system include, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and nephritis associated with connective tissue disorders. This study will allow researchers to admit and follow patients suffering from autoimmune diseases of the kidney. It will attempt to provide information about the causes and specific abnormalities associated with autoimmune kidney disease. Patients with kidney disease as a result of their immune system, and patients with diseases of the immune system who may later develop kidney disease, will be potential subjects for this study. Patients will undergo a history and physical examination, and standard laboratory test to more closely understand the causes, signs, symptoms, and responses to medication of these diseases. Based on these evaluations the patients may qualify as candidates for other experimental studies. At any time these patients may be asked to submit blood or urine samples for further research.
Details: Patients with known or suspected immunologically-mediated kidney diseases, including but not limited to, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and nephritis associated with other systemic or connective tissue disorders, will be evaluated at the Clinical Center. Patients who have immunologically-mediated diseases with the potential for kidney disease will be evaluated as well. Studies will include characterization of the clinical and laboratory features of these disorders, studies of natural history and complications, evaluation of responses to standard treatment, and determination of the patients' eligibility to enter other experimental diagnostic or therapeutic protocols. Patients may be asked to contribute blood and/or urine samples for immunological research studies.
Eligibility:
Study Type: Observational, Natural History
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: /
Genders: Both
Protocol Entry Criteria: CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION: Immunologically-mediated renal diseases, proven or suspected. Immunologically-mediated diseases with potential for kidney disease. Willingness of the patient or guardian to give informed consent. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Concomitant medical problems which would confound the interpretation of studies of the immunologic kidney disorder. Concomitant medical, surgical or other conditions for which inadequate facilities or funds are available to support their care at the NIH.
