Summary
This study follows up to 2000 people with immune-related kidney diseases, such as nephrotic syndrome and lupus nephritis. Researchers will collect medical history, lab tests, and blood or urine samples to better understand these conditions. The goal is to learn more about causes and responses to treatment, and to identify candidates for future experimental studies.
