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.

http://datahub.io/dataset/kupkb

A collection of omics datasets (mRNA, proteins and miRNA) that have been extracted from PubMed and other related renal databases, all related to kidney physiology and pathology giving KUP biologists the means to ask queries across many resources in order to aggregate knowledge that is necessary for answering biological questions. Some microarray raw datasets have also been downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus and analyzed by the open-source software GeneArmada. The Semantic Web technologies, together with the background knowledge from the domain's ontologies, allows both rapid conversion and integration of this knowledge base. SPARQL endpoint http://sparql.kupkb.org/sparql The KUPKB Network Explorer will help you visualize the relationships among molecules stored in the KUPKB. A simple spreadsheet template is available for users to submit data to the KUPKB. It aims to capture a minimal amount of information about the experiment and the observations made.

Clinical trial investigating whether a specific class of antihypertensive drugs (beta-adrenergic blockers, calcium channel blockers, or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) and/or the level of blood pressure would influence progression of hypertensive kidney disease in African Americans. The initiative consisting of 21 clinical centers and a data-coordinating center is followed by a Continuation of AASK Cohort Study to investigate the environmental, socio-economic, genetic, physiologic, and other co-morbid factors that influence progression of kidney disease in a well-characterized cohort of African Americans with hypertensive kidney disease. Only patients who were previously in the randomized trial are eligible for the cohort study. A significant discovery was made in the treatment strategy for slowing kidney disease caused by hypertension. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, compared with calcium channel blockers, were found to slow kidney disease progression by 36 percent, and they drastically reduced the risk of kidney failure by 48 percent in patients who had at least one gram of protein in the urine, a sign of kidney failure. ACE inhibitors have been the preferred treatment for hypertension caused by diabetes since 1994; however, calcium channel blockers have been particularly effective in controlling blood pressure in African Americans. The AASK study now recommends ACE inhibitors to protect the kidneys from the damaging effects of hypertension. The Continuation of AASK Cohort Study will be followed at the clinical centers. The patients will be provided with the usual clinical care given to all such patients at the respective centers. Baseline demographic information, selected laboratory tests, and other studies are being obtained at the initiation of the Continuation Study. The patients will be seen quarterly at the centers, and some selected studies done at these visits. Samples will be obtained and stored for additional studies and analyses at a later date.

Private, clinical stage biotherapeutics company focused on delivering new solutions to individuals affected by kidney disease. They are committed to developing novel approaches to protect, treat and restore kidney function for this patient group. Company has designed specific class of peptide compounds that have shown excellent results in controlling experimental kidney diseases, notably, models of diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage associated with diabetes), and acute kidney injury. These proprietary peptides may therefore be able to prevent and treat acute kidney injury, as well as slow and possibly reverse the progression of diabetic nephropathy. They act to control apoptosis (programmed cell death), inflammation and fibrosis (formation of scar tissue).
