C3 glomerulonephritis with genetically confirmed C3 deficiency in a pediatric patient: a case report [PDF]

Complement component 3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) is a rare kidney disease characterized by complement dysregulation that results in prominent complement component 3 (C3) deposition in the kidneys. The clinical course of C3GN varies from mild hematuria to

C3 glomerulopathy associated with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and positive IgA staining

BMC Nephrology
Background Patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) often have a history of infection, which implies that infection may lead to abnormal activation of the complement alternative pathway (CAP) and induce the development of C3G.

Nephrotic syndrome associated with hepatointestinal schistosomiasis Síndrome nefrótica associada à esquistossomose hepatointestinal

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1992
Schistosomal nephropathy has long been related to the hepatosplenic form of schistosomiasis. In the last few years, 24 patients with hepatointestinal schistosomiasis and the nephrotic syndrome were studied.

COMPLEMENT-MEDIATED ADIPOCYTE LYSIS BY NEPHRITIC FACTOR SERA [PDF]

, 1993
Recent data indicate a previously unsuspected link between the complement system and adipocyte biology. Murine adipocytes produce key components of the alternative pathway of complement and are able to activate this pathway.

Evaluating the utility of anti-human IgA, IgG, IgM, Kappa, Lambda-FITC (conjugate) cocktail antibody in transplant renal pathology

Surgical and Experimental Pathology
In this study, we evaluated the utility of polyclonal rabbit anti-human IgA, IgG, IgM, Kappa, Lambda - FITC antibody cocktail (CTA) in identifying immune complex deposits in conjunction with C3 & C1q antibodies in consecutive transplant renal biopsies. A

Successful simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation for renal failure associated with hereditary complement C3 deficiency. [PDF]

, 2020
Hereditary complement C3 deficiency is associated with recurrent bacterial infections and proliferative glomerulonephritis. We describe a case of an adult with complete deficiency of complement C3 due to homozygous mutations in C3 gene: c.1811delT ...

Glomerulonephritis with isolated C3 deposits and monoclonal gammopathy: a fortuitous association? [PDF]

, 2011
International audienceBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Glomerular deposition of monoclonal Ig has been exceptionally described as the cause of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, through activation of the complement alternative pathway (CAP).

Pathogenesis and approaches to therapy of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis [PDF]

, 1976
In 1965, it was observed that patients with glomerulonephritis with persistently low serum concentrations of C3 evolved to have similar glomerular morphologic characteristics, particularly recognizable in biopsy specimens stained by the Jones methenamine
