The creation of the Biobank, a resource pertaining to the Spanish Renal Research Network (REDinREN) promotes advances in clinical research on kidney disease in Spain. The Biobank's aims are to generate an archive of clinical samples and associated data, furnish those samples to research teams, and coordinate with European biobanks.
Applicable legislation had to be complied with in order to launch the Biobank project (Biomedical Research Law, Data Protection Law and Biological Sample Transport Regulations). A strict work protocol and a new database for the Network's clinical data were also implemented.
Over time, the Biobank has acquired additional infrastructure and qualified personnel. In 2010, 2953 new patient samples were collected, giving a total of 37,043 stored vials containing different types of samples. Furthermore, the Biobank is currently participating in eleven research projects.
Although the Biobank was originally designed for REDinREN use, we must take joint action to make this biological sample storage system and the many possibilities it offers available to the entire nephrological community with a view to promoting kidney disease research.
生物库的创建是西班牙肾脏研究网络（REDinREN）的资源，它推动了西班牙肾脏疾病临床研究的进展。生物库的目标是生成临床样本和相关数据档案，向研究团队提供这些样本，并与欧洲生物库协调。
为启动生物库项目（生物医学研究法、数据保护法和生物样本运输条例），必须遵守适用的法规。还实施了严格的工作方案和新的网络临床数据数据库。
随着时间的推移，生物库已经获得了更多的基础设施和合格的人员。2010 年，共收集了 2953 个新的患者样本，共储存了 37043 个含有不同类型样本的小瓶。此外，生物库目前正在参与 11 个研究项目。
尽管生物库最初是为 REDinREN 设计的，但我们必须共同努力，使这个生物样本存储系统及其提供的许多可能性为整个肾脏科社区所用，以促进肾脏疾病研究。
