Mount Sinai Kidney Precision Medicine
Mount Sinai Health System Kidney Precision Medicine Project
This effort at Mount Sinai is gathering information from kidney tissue to better understand how kidney disease develops and gets worse.

What this research studies
Many people in America live with kidney disease, and it's often hard to predict how it will progress or find new treatments. This work at Mount Sinai aims to change that by carefully collecting kidney tissue samples from patients. By studying these samples, we hope to discover new signs and understand the tiny changes in the body that cause kidney disease to start and get worse. We are especially looking for patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of kidney injury.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients living with chronic kidney disease, particularly those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of kidney injury, who may be considered for a kidney biopsy.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have kidney disease or are unable to undergo a kidney biopsy would not directly benefit from participating in this specific effort.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to improved ways to predict how kidney disease will progress and help develop new, more effective treatments.
How similar studies have performed: While the overall approach of studying human tissue is established, this project aims to address current limitations in predicting kidney disease progression and developing new therapies.
