Article Synopsis
- C3 glomerulopathy (C3GP) is a rare type of kidney disease that can lead to end stage renal disease (ESRD), and this study aimed to explore its demographics, treatment, and outcomes among affected patients.* -
- Conducted at Gazi University from 2013 to 2017, the study included 24 middle-aged patients, discovering that 21% developed ESRD and that certain renal biopsy findings were common regardless of ESRD status.* -
- Both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) based and non-MMF based treatments showed similar effectiveness; however, high serum creatinine levels and the need for renal replacement therapy were key indicators of worse kidney survival.*
