CUREGN 3.0 # Pediatric Nephrology Research Consortium (PNRC) - PCC

CureGN 3.0 Abstract There are several different types of glomerular diseases, such as minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membranous nephropathy (MN), and immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). Over time, these diseases may cause kidney damage. These kidney diseases are rare and because of that, it is difficult for individual researchers to gather a large enough number of people to effectively study underlying causes, identify markers of disease, and identify and evaluate new therapies. The purpose of CureGN is to gather a group of people with glomerular disease to create a source of information and blood and urine samples, so that researchers can easily and effectively study glomerular disease.
