NEPTUNE: The Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network - RDCRN Protocol 6801

Status: Recruiting

Nephrotic syndrome is a condition which affects the kidneys causing them to leak protein from the blood into the urine. Nephrotic syndrome is a disease that can improve (remission) and worsen (relapse) at different times throughout childhood. By collecting health information and laboratory samples, our goal is to learn more about these kidney diseases and find better ways to prevent and treat people with nephrotic syndrome. New knowledge will be shared with researchers and the public.
