Minnesota Precision Medicine for Kidney Disease and Resilient Diabetes
Minnesota Precision Medicine CKD & Resilient Diabetes Recruiting Site: Engagement, Enrollment & Ethics
This project aims to understand chronic kidney disease in people with diabetes or high blood pressure, and also in those with type 1 diabetes who have healthy kidneys, by collecting samples and health information.

What this research studies
We are looking for people with chronic kidney disease caused by diabetes or high blood pressure, as well as those with type 1 diabetes who have not developed kidney problems. Our goal is to collect kidney tissue samples, other biological samples, and health data to better understand these conditions. We also want to hear your thoughts on ethical issues like receiving your results and how samples are managed. This information will help us develop more personalized ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat kidney disease.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 21 and older with chronic kidney disease due to diabetes or high blood pressure, or those with type 1 diabetes who have shown resilience against kidney disease.
Not a fit: Patients without chronic kidney disease or diabetes, or those unwilling to provide biological samples, may not directly benefit from this specific research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to new, more precise ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat chronic kidney disease, especially for those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
How similar studies have performed: This project is part of a larger national effort (KPMP) that builds on existing knowledge to explore new precision medicine approaches for kidney disease.
