National Registry for Childhood Interstitial and Diffuse Lung Diseases

This study will collect information about children who have rare types of lung disease to help us understand how better to diagnose and treat these patients. Information will be collected from participants' doctors about how different aspects of their disease and treatment. This will be compared to information from other such patients from other hospitals around the United States. By gathering information on many such patients, we hope to develop best practices for such patients. These may lead to new research studies, which we can invite participants in this study to consider as well.

Reasons for dialysis circuit clotting

We want to learn why and how some people on dialysis form blood clots in the dialysis machine or in their fistula. Most patients on dialysis receive a blood thinner called heparin to prevent these clots, but heparin can sometimes cause bleeding. We would like to know if safer medications could work in preventing these clots. This study is only about learning more information from blood samples and does not involve treatment.

Assessing treatment preferences and quality of life of high-risk skin lesions in solid organ transplant recipients: a cross-sectional study

To collect quantitative data to: -Primarily gain a better understanding of patients' attitudes and preferences regarding end-of-life care management if they were to develop a high-risk skin cancer. To be more specific, we hope to gain a better understanding of how patients weigh their risk of developing skin cancer while taking immunosuppressants versus the risk of transplant rejection should they choose to stop or lower their immunosuppressants. -Determine how far these kidney transplant recipients travel to obtain skin-related care -Determine how frequently kidney transplant recipients obtain skin exams -Determine patients' baseline knowledge regarding risk of skin cancer while taking immunosuppressants, which are medicines that lowers immune systems -Determine the quality of life of individuals with skin cancer who are kidney transplant recipients

Studying Diabetic Kidney Disease in Kidney Biopsies

About two in five people who are undergoing a kidney biopsy have diabetes. Diabetes is a common finding in people with kidney disease, but little is known about the specific ways in which diabetes affects kidney function. The purpose of this study is to gather two groups of patients with diabetes who undergo a kidney biopsy in order to create a source of information with genetic, blood, and urine samples available, by which researchers can study how diabetes affects kidney function.
