Outcomes from the International Society of Nephrology Forum on Complement Therapeutics in C3G & IgAN

Key takeaways

Kidney specialists met to review drugs that block complement, a part of the immune system that can attack the kidney's filters. In C3 glomerulopathy and a related filter disease, overactive complement is the main cause. In IgA nephropathy it plays a smaller, second-hand role in the damage. Recent trials of these drugs have gone well, but this item is a meeting summary and reports no new results itself.
