Description:
The NURTuRE project was devised to create a national kidney biobank as recommended in the UK Renal Research Strategy 2016. Strategic Aims: To work towards achieving this NURTuRE will:
- Create a national Kidney Bio Bank for collection and storage of biological samples from 3,000 CKD patients and up to 800 NS patients, to provide a strategic resource for fundamental and translational research.
- Develop and implement proactive UK protocol driven cohort studies in CKD and NS to investigate determinants of and risk factors for clinically important adverse outcomes.
- Engage patient cohorts, with consent to approach for any future research study. NURTuRE Objectives:
- The provision of comprehensive clinical and laboratory data from cohort studies.
- The provision of high quality bio-samples with centralised storage/retrieval.
- To carry out core biomarker analysis of biopsy specimens in biofluids of all patients recruited and parallel assessment.
- Follow-up specimen collection. First patient recruitment - By 31 June 2017
CKD - baseline and 100 % follow up collections, over 2 years NS: baseline and 20% follow up - over 3 years. Healthy Volunteers - baseline
Biological samples availability - Samples are available via the NURTuRE biobank - https://nurturebiobank.org/

Access
Access Service:
The SAIL Databank is powered by the UK Secure e-Research Platform (UKSeRP). Following approval through safeguard processes, access to project-specific data within the secure environment is permitted using two-factor authentication.
Jurisdictions:
UK
Data Controller:
SAIL
Access Request Cost:
Data provision is free from SAIL. Overall project costing depends on the number
of people that require access to the SAIL Gateway, the activities that SAIL
needs to complete (e.g. loading non-standard datasets), data refreshes,
analytical work required, disclosure control process, and special case
technological requirements.
