We want to help people from different cultures who live in America. Sometimes they have a hard time getting the right care because they are different from most Americans. We want to learn their understanding of their grief and the cultural factors that influence their grieving process. We want to talk to them and listen to their stories. This way, we can help them trust the doctors and nurses caring for them. We can also help them find more support online. We think this will make them healthier and happier. We also want to show others that having different feelings and beliefs is okay. We hope that by doing this study, we can help the therapists develop a deeper understanding of the grieving experiences and provide culturally appropriate care to their patients.

The purpose of this study is to compare diet (record of the foods you eat), gut microbiome (stool sample), and cells (blood sample) in adults with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) and compare with adults with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and adults with no history of medical problems. The information we learn by doing this study may help us understand how we might be able to target the microbiome to better understand the disease process and potentially help us develop new therapies in the future.

The purpose of this research study is to test differences in food intake of items with flavored and non-flavored counterparts. The data generated will be used to select future research tasks in other studies.
