Undertaking a study of proteins found in the complement system, an important part of the immune system, of patients with long COVID, researchers have identified a blood protein ‘signature’ that may ...

Medically reviewed by Matthew Wosnitzer, MD Key Takeaways Proteinuria affects most people with complement 3 glomerulopathy ...

These findings suggest complement protein levels may be an important biomarker for type 1 diabetes. Disruption of the complement system appears to precede the onset of islet autoimmunity (IA), making ...

Medically reviewed by David Ozeri, MD 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 ...

Most people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus recover after the acute illness. However, a significant proportion of infected individuals develop long-lasting symptoms with a wide range of ...

Faults in a certain part of the immune system might be at the root of some long covid cases, new research suggests. For many people, covid is an illness that blusters in and out of our lives as cases ...

Changes to serum proteins could be behind the debilitating condition known as long COVID. The findings, published in the journal Science, could pave the way for diagnosing and treating the disease.

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 ...

Researchers discovered a previously unknown mechanism that may drive tissue damage and a new target for drug discovery. Our immune system is armed with an array of defenses designed to detect and ...
