In this study, researchers are collecting blood samples from both patients and healthy volunteers to help with research on diseases that affect blood vessels. Blood vessels are like tiny tubes that carry blood throughout your body. This study helps scientists create tests to better understand these diseases.
Eligibility: You can join the study if you are 18 years or older. However, if you have a condition like sickle cell disease, which is a blood disorder, or another type of chronic anemia, and your hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells) is too low, you can't donate blood. For women, hemoglobin should be at least 10 g/dL, and for men, at least 12 g/dL. If you have sickle cell disease, it should be at least 6 g/dL. Everyone can donate urine samples, as there are no restrictions for that.
- Length of Study: Participation is flexible and based on your convenience.
- Compensation: Participants may receive compensation for their time and effort.
- Risks: Blood collection is generally safe, with minimal risk of minor bruising.
