This has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide range of glomerulopathies including lupus nephritis, membranoproliferative glomerulopathy, postinfectious glomerulonephritis and, more recently, the atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS), and C3 glomerulopathy. Therefore, development of strategies to minimize activation of C cascades could be promising i... |
