THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. Collect, store, and distribute genetic samples from cases and controls of type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy for investigator-driven research into the genetic basis of diabetic nephropathy. As the risk of kidney complications in type 1 diabetes appears to have a considerable genetic component, this study assembled a large data resource for researchers attempting to identify causative genetic variants. The types of data collected allowed traditional case-control testing, a rapid and often powerful approach, and family-based analysis, a robust approach that is not influenced by population substructure.

Prospective, observational cohort study of children with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) to: (1) determine risk factors for progression of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD); (2) examine the impact of CKD on neurocognitive development; (3) examine the impact of CKD on risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and; (4) examine the impact of CKD on growth. The CKiD study population will include a cohort of 540 children, age 1 16 years, expected to be enrolled over a 24-month period.

Information dissemination service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) established to increase knowledge and understanding about diseases of the kidneys and urologic system among people with these conditions and their families, health care professionals, and the general public: online, in booklets and fact sheets, by email, and over the phone. To carry out this mission, NKUDIC works closely with a coordinating panel of representatives from Federal agencies; voluntary organizations on the national level; professional groups; and State health departments to identify and respond to informational needs about kidney and urologic diseases. NKUDIC provides the following informational products and services: * Response to inquiries about kidney and urologic diseases-ranging from information about available patient and professional education materials to statistical data. By phone (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. eastern time, M-F), fax, mail, and email. * Publications about specific kidney and urologic diseases, provided free of copyright, in varying reading levels. Available online or as booklets and brochures. (See our Publications Catalog.) NKUDIC also sends publications to health fairs and community events. Please contact us for more information. * Referrals to health professionals through the National Library of Medicine''''s MEDLINEplus includes a consumer-friendly listing of organizations that will assist you in your search for physicians and other health professionals. * Exhibits at professional meetings specific to kidney and urologic diseases, as well as cross-cutting professional meetings. NKUDIC exhibits at 11 professional meetings, each year, including Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates, American Urologic Association, American Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Foundation, Polycystic Kidney Disease Research Foundation, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Physician Assistants, American Nurses Association, and the National Conference for Nurse Practitioners.
