C3 Glomerulopathy: A Rare Entity with Future Directions
Revista Portuguesa de Nefrologia e Hipertensão, 2023 C3 glomerulopathies are a rare group of glomerular diseases resulting from excessive activation of the alternative complement pathway. The pathogenesis involves genetic, acquired, or immunologic defects in regulators of the alternative complement ...

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Kidney transplantation increases the survival rate of end‐stage renal disease patients; however, acute rejection and glomerulonephritis, such as the uncommon non‐lupus full‐house nephropathy (NLFHN), can lead to graft dysfunction. NLFHN exhibits a characteristic lupus immunofluorescence pattern in the absence of systemic lupus features, which ...

Recent Progress in Double Filtration Plasmapheresis
Hemodialysis International, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 18-25, January 2026.ABSTRACT Double‐filtration plasmapheresis is an advanced extracorporeal blood purification technique that selectively removes pathogenic macromolecules based on molecular weight. Unlike conventional plasma exchange, double‐filtration plasmapheresis uses a two‐step filtration process to retain beneficial plasma components such as albumin, while ...

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The paradigm of renal involvement in HIV patients has changed in recent years, from HIV‐associated nephropathy to nephroangiosclerosis, due to the increased survival of these patients and their comorbidities. Some of these are leishmaniasis and hepatitis C and their treatments, especially direct‐acting antivirals, which may induce reconstitution of the

Circulating Complement Levels and C3 Glomerulopathy [PDF]
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2014 The complement system is an essential part of innate immunity acting as a first-line defense against infection and provides an interface between innate and adaptive immunity ([1][1],[2][2]). It consists of a network of soluble (fluid phase) and cell membrane proteins (solid phase).

C3 Glomerulonephritis: A Rare Etiology of the Pulmonary Renal Syndrome
Kidney Medicine, 2019 C3 Glomerulopathy is a rare form of kidney disease due to dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway. We report a case of a college-aged woman with C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), presenting with the unexpected extrarenal manifestation of ...

Case Reports in Nephrology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Introduction The heterogeneity of membranous nephropathy is well described in the literature, and its clinical course and response to treatment vary. Similarly, acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) can present in unexpected and unusual ways and should always be considered within the differential diagnosis of worsening renal function.

Intersecting Autoimmunities: ANCA and Anti‐GBM Overlap in a Patient With Sjögren’s Disease
Case Reports in Nephrology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background The coexistence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) and antiglomerular basement membrane (anti‐GBM) antibodies defines a rare but clinically significant autoimmune overlap syndrome. This dual positivity can result in rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, often with poor kidney outcomes. Diagnosis is particularly challenging in
