Get Involved
Do you or someone you know have swelling from kidney disease?
Participation in a virtual or phone 1-hour paid interview could help researchers get one step closer to finding new therapies for Nephrotic Syndrome before or after kidney transplant. Eligible diseases include FSGS, Membranous Nephropathy, Minimal Change Disease, IgM, or C1q nephropathy.
Let's Make A Change
Please consider participating in a virtual 1-hour long interview with the Prepare-NS research study.
Researchers are studying people's experiences with swelling, or edema, and want to learn from those impacted by Nephrotic Syndrome. The information collected from the interviews will be used to develop a survey to use when testing new medications for Nephrotic Syndrome.
