Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) who receive medical care at Tufts Medicine will be invited to join a CKD research registry. The registry will record their medical information related to CKD and future researchers will be allowed to contact patients to ask if they would like to join a CKD related research study. There is nothing patients have to do once they join the registry, and joining a CKD research study is entirely optional.
