    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • The complement system plays a crucial role in immune responses and can be activated via classical and alternative pathways.
    • Dysregulation of complement activation is implicated in various renal diseases, including glomerulonephritis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical significance of complement activation in glomerulonephritis.
    • To discuss the role of complement in inherited renal diseases and proteinuria.
    • To analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of complement analysis in kidney diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of classical and alternative complement pathways.
    • Clinical classification of glomerulonephritis based on complement levels (normocomplementemic vs. hypocomplementemic).
    • Analysis of immunohistological findings from kidney biopsies using fluorescence antibody technique.

  • Discussion of complementuria and C3NeF (antibody to factor B-C3 complex).

    • Main Results:

    • Children with glomerulonephritis can be categorized by complement levels.
    • Inherited complement deficiencies are associated with renal diseases.
    • The clinical significance of complementuria requires further investigation.
    • C3NeF is identified as an antibody to the factor B-C3 complex.
    • Glomerular complement receptors contribute to immune complex deposition in renal diseases.

    Conclusions:

    • Complement system activation and deficiencies are critical in glomerulonephritis and other renal diseases.
    • Complement analysis, including complementuria and C3NeF detection, aids in diagnosis and treatment evaluation.
    • Understanding glomerular complement receptors is key to explaining immune complex-mediated kidney damage.
