C3 glomerulonephritis in multiple myeloma
BACKGROUND C3 glomerulonephritis (C3 GN) is a recently defined entity characterized by predominant C3 deposition in glomeruli due to abnormal activation of the alternative pathway of complement system. C3 GN has been reported to be associated with several systemic diseases. However, the association between C3 GN and multiple myeloma (MM) has not been well established. METHODS We herein descri...
متن کاملTiming of eculizumab therapy for C3 glomerulonephritis
Eculizumab is an anti-C5 antibody that inhibits C5 cleavage and prevents the generation of the terminal complement complex C5b-9. Eculizumab is licensed to treat paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria or atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS). Clinical trials are ongoing for C3 glomerulopathy. Given the unfamiliarity of physicians with these rare diseases and the variability of clinical pres...
متن کاملFull Review C3 glomerulonephritis and CFHR5 nephropathy
Complement is an important aspect of defence against infection and its activation and regulation are finely balanced. Disordered complement regulation can lead to C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), which is characterized by complement (but not immunoglobulin) deposition in the glomerulus of the kidney. Although only recently recognized as a clinical entity, C3GN is important and elucidation of its m...
متن کاملRituximab for Treatment of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis and C3 Glomerulopathies
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a histological pattern of injury resulting from predominantly subendothelial and mesangial deposition of immunoglobulins or complement factors with subsequent inflammation and proliferation particularly of the glomerular basement membrane. Recent classification of MPGN is based on pathogenesis dividing MPGN into immunoglobulin-associated MPGN a...
متن کاملC3 glomerulopathy: the genetic and clinical findings in dense deposit disease and C3 glomerulonephritis.
C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) defines a group of very rare renal diseases in which dysregulation of the alternative and terminal complement pathways plays a pivotal pathogenic role. Dysregulation is driven by genetic and/or acquired defects, with interindividual variability giving rise to two broad subtypes of C3G-dense deposit disease (DDD) and C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN). Patient evaluation should...
