C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are two rare kidney diseases. They’re both driven by activity of the complement system, which is a ...

Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is considered a very rare disease. With C3G, patients have issues with their immune system that cause kidney damage and symptoms such as swelling and changes in urine ...

Our immune system is armed with an array of defenses designed to detect and eliminate harmful threats. One of its most powerful defense mechanisms is the complement system-a group of proteins that ...

Dianthus achieved its NASDAQ listing last year via a merger with Magenta Therapeutics. The company is focused on development of a single drug candidate, DNTH-103, which targets the complement system, ...

Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is diagnosed with a combination of a clinical evaluation, blood tests, urine tests, and a renal (kidney) biopsy. The only way to definitively diagnose C3G and its ...

C3G and IC-MPGN both cause protein deposits that reduce kidney function. Overactive proteins in the immune system lead to these different conditions. C3G and IC-MPGN are rare kidney conditions. They ...

Current treatment methods for C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) help support kidney function and suppress immune system activity. Emerging therapies interrupt the proteins responsible for disease activity. C3G ...
