Information for Physicians / Referrers

As a physician, would you like to enrol a patient with a complement-mediated kidney disease or a TMA in the CORE registry?

Who can be enrolled?

paediatric patients with confirmed (genetically and/or by biopsy) aHUS, TTP, C3G or MPGN

All adult patients with confirmed (genetically and/or by biopsy) aHUS, TTP, C3G or MPGN

Which questions are to be answered:

As a central German registry, the CORE registry is intended to enable the long-term development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches based on precisely characterised disease courses as well as epidemiological and genetic data.

Optionally, participants can consent to the storage of biomaterial (blood and urine), which is kept in local biobanks. This biomaterial is intended to enable translational research approaches of the CORE registry, linking the clinical registry with basic molecular research.

Laboratory, clinical and medical history parameters are linked with histopathological findings. Clinical data are recorded systematically at enrolment and at regular intervals during follow-up. Patient samples such as urine, serum, plasma or tissue are preserved and catalogued in a modern biobank at University Hospital Cologne (or the respective site).

Would you like to participate in the registry as a centre yourself?
