Four patients with thrombotic microangiopathy had evidence of intravascular C3 activation on presentation which persisted after bilateral nephrectomy. In several serum samples, C3-splitting activity was not associated with the presence of circulating immune complexes, which were detected in all four patients before nephrectomy and in three after nephrectomy.
