This is a research study that's building a centralized database of medical information from people with rare inherited kidney and liver diseases. Researchers will review your past and current medical records, and you can optionally donate a blood sample (and your parents' blood samples) for genetic testing. The goal is to help scientists better understand these conditions and improve treatment options.
Very little is known about these rare kidney and liver diseases because they affect relatively few people. By collecting medical information and genetic samples from many patients in one place, researchers hope to identify patterns, understand how these conditions develop, and eventually find better treatments.

You don't need to travel to the hospital. The research team will ask permission to review your existing medical records (clinic notes, lab results, doctor reports), and they'll enter this information into a secure database. If you choose to participate in genetic testing, you can either have blood drawn at your local doctor's office or use a home collection kit, with optional samples from your parents. After the initial enrollment, the team will check in annually to update your medical information for as long as you want to participate.
