Renal Biobank and TARGET-KD

The TARGET-KD program (The Application of Renal Genomics to Enhance the Treatment of Kidney Disease) is seeking to recruit subjects who are scheduled to undergo a kidney biopsy in the near future who are willing to donate a one-time urine and blood sample to the kidney disease biobank at the University of Calgary. Samples will be de-identified and used in future studies in order to discover and validate disease-classifying molecular and genetic indicators that may exist in the blood and urine. These discoveries could lead to the development of simple urine or blood-based diagnostic tests rather than requiring an invasive kidney biopsy to diagnose patients and treat them appropriately. We are also actively recruiting healthy volunteers without kidney disease to donate urine and blood samples on a one-time basis to be used as controls for comparison studies.
