A. Description and Research Materials Kidney tissues will be obtained with informed consent from patients with clinical suspicion of CAN (at least 15 patients). Tissue samples (needle biopsies) will be snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen within 5 minutes after excision and shipped under appropriate conditions, on dry ice, to maintain specimen integrity. All samples will be submitted for pathological evaluation, and a pathology report and clinical summary will be sent with the samples in all cases in a manner insuring patient confidentiality by removing patient identifiers and labeling with the assigned patient number.
