The Rational Use of Complement Inhibitors in Kidney Diseases
The development of complement inhibitors represented one of the major breakthroughs in clinical nephrology in the last decade. Complement inhibition has dramatically transformed the outcome of one of the most severe kidney diseases, the atypical ...

Complement-mediated kidney diseases. [PDF]
It has long been known that the complement cascade is activated in various forms of glomerulonephritis. In many of these diseases, immune-complexes deposit in the glomeruli and activate the classical pathway.

Common Elements in Rare Kidney Diseases: Conclusions from a Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Controversies Conference [PDF]
Rare kidney diseases encompass at least 150 different conditions, most of which are inherited. Although individual rare kidney diseases raise specific issues, as a group these rare diseases can have overlapping challenges in diagnosis and treatment ...

Signaling pathways of chronic kidney diseases, implications for therapeutics
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic renal dysfunction syndrome that is characterized by nephron loss, inflammation, myofibroblasts activation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition.

The Role of Pyroptosis in the Pathogenesis of Kidney Diseases
Background: Recently, in addition to apoptosis and necrosis, several other forms of cell death have been discovered, such as necroptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis.

Broadening horizons: the multifaceted functions of ferroptosis in kidney diseases
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death pattern that is characterized by iron overload, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and lipid peroxidation.

Role of C-Reactive Protein in Kidney Diseases
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein and has been found to be a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney diseases (CKD). However, the role and mechanisms of CRP in AKI and CKD remain largely unclear. Summary:

Mitochondrial Redox Signaling and Oxidative Stress in Kidney Diseases
Mitochondria are essential organelles in physiology and kidney diseases, because they produce cellular energy required to perform their function. During mitochondrial metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced.
