1. Ultrasound Microvessel Imaging of Transplant Kidney

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of ultrasound microvessel imaging for evaluation of transplant kidney health.

2. Authorizaton to Use Clincially Obtained Data for Research

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being done to gather information regarding your health in relation to your composite tissue transplant. We would like to use your medical records (both existing and future) to study the health of patients who will receive or have received a composite tissue transplant. This research would include looking at your demographic information, cause of initial injury, laboratory test results and medical exams relating to your pre and post transplant care, and your mental well-being before and after transplant.

    

3. Post Approval Study for Treatment of Drug-resistant Adult Primary FSGS Using the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the probable benefit and safety of the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome associated with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, when the standard treatment options, including corticosteroid and/or calcineurin inhibitors treatments, have been unsuccessful or not well tolerated, and the patient has a GFR ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73m2, or the patient is post renal transplantation. Treatment for FSGS is considered unsuccessful if the patient is unresponsive to standard therapy (e.g., at least 8 weeks of corticosteroids) and fails to achieve complete or partial remission. A standard treatment is considered not well tolerated if the patient experiences severe side effects without providing an acceptable level of clinical benefit.

    

4. Rare Kidney Stone Consortium Patient Registry

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to collect medical information from a large number of patients in many areas of the world with primary hyperoxaluria (PH), Dent disease, Cystinuria and APRT deficiency. This information will create a registry that will help us to compare similarities and differences in patients and their symptoms. The more patients we are able to enter into the registry, the more we will be able to understand the Primary Hyperoxalurias,Dent disease, cystinuria and APRT and learn better ways of caring for patients with these diseases.

5. HELP-HY: Health Education and sLeep Program in HYpertension

   Rochester, Minn.

   Hypertension is the major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases worldwide. The escalating prevalence of inadequate sleep now parallels that of hypertension. Observational and experimental evidence favoring a causal relation between insufficient sleep and hypertension are particularly compelling - sleeping 6 hours or less per night is associated with a 20-32% higher probability of incident hypertension. Since sleep curtailment is largely voluntary, sleep deficiency may be corrected and the detrimental health consequences potentially reversed. In this study the investigators aim to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of sleep enhancement/extension vs health education in prehypertensive and stage 1 hypertensive subjects who report habitual short sleep (=6.5 hours/night).

6. Inflammation and Stem Cells in Diabetic and Chronic Kidney Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   As the global epidemic of obesity and diabetes mellitus spreads, an exponential rise in incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) complicated by end stage renal disease (ESRD) is predicted, leaving healthcare systems overwhelmed worldwide. Hence, there is urgent need for novel therapies to slow the progression of DKD and optimize the health of this patient population. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a supplement on mesenchymal stem cells, physical body function (or frailty), kidney function, and total clearance of senescent cells in individuals with CKD. At present, we are enrolling participants with CKD, with a subset of participants with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), aged 40-80 years, and eGFR 15-60 mL/min/1.73m2. After screening and enrollment, study participants will be randomized to either the treatment or non-treatment (placebo) arm.  Participants in the treatment arm will take the supplement drug for 2 days.  For all participants, an olive-sized sample of subcutaneous fat will be taken from the abdomen for MSC isolation and repeated at day 14. A frailty assessment along with blood and urine laboratory testing will be done at a total of 3 study visits (enrollment, day 14, and month 4).  Mail-out labs will be accepted for month 12 follow-up. 

7. Outcomes Database to prospectivelY aSSEss the Changing TherapY Landscape in Renal Cell Carcinoma (ODYSSEY RCC)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine distinct patterns of change in the quality of life and symptom burden in mRCC patients receiving therapy.

8. Biobank Protocol, Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being done to obtain samples from patients with primary hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) deficiency, and Dent disease, and from their family members, for use in future research.

9. A Study of Genes that cause Cystic Kidney Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overall objective of this study is to define genes causing cystic kidney disease and to determine the degree to which variants at these cystic kidney disease genes underlie the clinical diversity of these disorders. This will provide an insight into the disease mechanisms, and explore novel mutation screening methods.  A combination of mutation screening in clinically characterized human cystic kidney disease populations, gene hunting and exploration of incompletely penetrant alleles in humans will provide a comprehensive picture of how mutations cause the resulting phenotype.

10. A Study to Form a Database of Children with Kidney Stone Disease

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to establish a database to collect and analyze information on metabolic and environmental risk factors for kidney stone formation in children.

1. A Study to Compare Urinary Exosomes in Healthy Kidney Donors and Renal Transplant Recipients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use urinary exosomes to non-invasively identify (protein biomarkers) various conditions affecting the renal transplant.
