Dense deposit disease predominantly affects younger individuals, while C3 glomerulonephritis tends to manifest in older populations. The diseases are characterized by dysregulation of the complement alternative pathway, leading to the deposition of complement components in the glomeruli and subsequent renal dysfunction. Notably, the incidence of C3G in the United States is low, with 1-3 cases per 1,000,000 and a prevalence of 5 cases per 1,000,000.</p><p><strong>Areas of uncertainty: </strong>Numerous uncertainties persist in comprehending the etiology and pathophysiology of C3G. While biomarkers such as C3 nephritic factor, autoantibodies, and relevant genetic mutations have been identified, their pathogenicity and clinical utility remain unclear. Standard workups involve complement assays and autoantibody panels, yet the definitive diagnostic test remains a kidney biopsy. Nuanced challenges lie in deciphering the sensitivity and specificity of these diagnostic tools, especially in the presence of phenotypical variations among individuals.</p><p><strong>Therapeutic advancement: </strong>Current therapeutic approaches, albeit lacking robust evidence, encompass a spectrum ranging from supportive care to targeted B-cell therapy and immunosuppression with mycophenolate mofetil and glucocorticoids. For severe and refractory cases, the monoclonal antibody eculizumab, targeting C5 in the complement cascade, is recommended. These treatments, while offering some relief, pose challenges related to their cost and obtaining insurance approval. Exploratory avenues delve into the potential of plasma exchange and innovative treatments such as oral complement inhibitors, reflecting the ongoing quest for effective therapeutic modalities. Trials investigating various complement inhibitors underscore the dynamic landscape of therapeutic advancements in C3G management.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In conclusion, the article highlights the complexities of C3G management. The need for further understanding, large-scale trials, and ongoing investigations into disease etiology and pathophysiology is emphasized.</p>","PeriodicalId":7760,"journal":{"name":"American journal of therapeutics","volume":"31 6","pages":"e652-e658"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142962062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
