Overview
The purpose of this study is to collect a piece of tissue (biopsy) from the outer layer of the kidney as healthy reference tissue for the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP). The biopsy will be from kidney stone patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Description
Researchers will take 3 biopsies from the outer portion of the kidney while participants are undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for their kidney stones.
The biopsies will be studied under a microscope, notes taken, and then the biopsies stored in the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) Central Biorepository for future research.
