Current Prognosis for Patients With C3G or Primary IC-MPGN
Question 1 of 4
C3G and primary IC-MPGN are 2 rare glomerular diseases. Approximately how many people across the US are affected by C3G and primary IC-MPGN?
C3G=complement 3 glomerulopathy; IC-MPGN=immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Staining Patterns Related to C3G
Question 2 of 4
Which staining pattern is characteristic of C3G under immunofluorescence microscopy?
C3=complement component 3; C3c=complement component 3c; C3G=complement 3 glomerulopathy; eGFR=estimated glomerular filtration rate; IC-MPGN=immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis; Ig=immunoglobulin; IgA=immunoglobulin A.
Current C3G and Primary IC-MPGN Treatment Options and Limitations
Question 3 of 4
True or False: Complement overactivation in C3G and primary IC-MPGN leads to excessive deposition of C3 breakdown fragments (and Ig in primary IC-MPGN) in the glomeruli, resulting in damage and a decline in kidney function.
C3=complement component 3; C3G=complement 3 glomerulopathy; IC-MPGN=immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis; Ig=immunoglobulin.
Question 4 of 4
Most treatment approaches cannot effectively address the complement overactivation underlying both diseases. As a result, what percentage of children and adults with C3G or primary IC-MPGN, respectively, progress to kidney failure within 10 years of diagnosis?
C3G=complement 3 glomerulopathy; IC-MPGN=immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
