Typologies of Symptoms and Functions Among Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Population Characteristics: A Latent Profile Analysis

open access: yesNursing Open, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims To explore the latent classification of symptom distress and functional impairments in Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and analyse the influencing factors of different latent classes. Design A cross‐sectional survey study.

#627 C3 glomerulonephritis and C3-dominant infection related glomerulonephritis—are they similar?

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation
Abstract Background C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) and C3 dominant infection related glomerulonephritis (C3-IRGN) comprise two important immune complex mediated diseases. C3GN is caused by dysregulation of the alternate pathway by congenital or acquired abnormalities in the complement pathway.

Remodeling the Inflammatory Microenvironment: Nanomaterial‐Based Targeted Strategies for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus Nephritis

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.
Current treatments for severe lupus nephritis are limited by side effects due to poor drug targeting. This review explores how smart nanomaterials—like liposomes and biomimetic carriers—can precisely deliver drugs to overactive immune cells and the kidneys. These nanotherapeutics enhance efficacy, reduce toxicity, and enable combination strategies. The

A case of glomerulonephritis with dominant C3 with organized deposits complicated by non-tuberculous mycobacteria

open access: yesHuman Pathology Reports
We report a case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) with dominant C3 and uniquely organized deposits complicated by pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection.

C4 nephritic factor in patients with immune-complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and C3-glomerulopathy

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2019
Background Acquired or genetic abnormalities of the complement alternative pathway are the primary cause of C3glomerulopathy(C3G) but may occur in immune-complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) as well. Less is known about the

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and C3 glomerulopathy: resolving the confusion [PDF]

open access: yesKidney International, 2012
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) denotes a general pattern of glomerular injury that is easily recognized by light microscopy. With additional studies, MPGN subgrouping is possible. For example, electron microscopy resolves differences in electron-dense deposition that are classically referred to as MPGN type I (MPGN I), MPGN II, and ...

DNASE1L3 Deficiency With Novel Missense Variant: Enzymatic and Plasma Fragmentomic Evidence of Pathogenicity and Partial Response to JAK Blockade

open access: yesACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Objective Biallelic loss‐of‐function variants in DNASE1L3 cause inherited systemic lupus erythematosus and hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis. These disorders arise from defective clearance of extracellular chromatin, leading to autoantibody formation, immune complex deposition, and complement consumption.

Eculizumab for Dense Deposit Disease and C3 Glomerulonephritis [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2012
Summary Background and objectives The principle defect in dense deposit disease and C3 glomerulonephritis is hyperactivity of the alternative complement pathway. Eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds to C5 to prevent formation of the membrane attack complex, may prove beneficial.

TREM2 Drives Neutrophil Extracellular Traps‐Induced Dendritic Cell Maturation and Contributes to Lupus Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
TREM2 recognizes NETs‐derived MPO to promote DC maturation and antigen presentation, thereby exacerbating the autoimmune response in SLE. Mechanistically, TREM2 activation triggers the DAP12/SYK/ERK cascade and enhances NETs internalization by DCs, which in turn activates the cGAS/STING signaling pathway.

Durable remission of C3 glomerulonephritis with mycophenolate mofetil [PDF]

open access: yesNephrology, 2017
AbstractIn C3 glomerulopathy, uncontrolled complement C3 activation via the alternative pathway results in glomerular C3 deposition and, in many cases, progressive renal failure. Despite advances in understanding of C3G pathogenesis over the last few years, there are no proven treatments.
