<p>
C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a recently identified disease entity caused by dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway, and dense deposit disease (DDD) and C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) are its components. Because laboratory detection of complement dysregulation is still uncommon in practice, "dominant C3 deposition by two orders greater than that of immunoglobulins in the glomeruli by immunofluorescence", as stated in the consensus report, defines C3G. However, this morphological definition possibly includes the cases with glomerular diseases of different mechanisms such as post-infectious glomerulonephritis. In addition, the differential diagnosis between DDD and C3GN is often difficult because the distinction between these two diseases is based solely on electron microscopic features. Recent molecular and genetic advances provide information to characterize C3G. Some C3G cases are found with genetic abnormalities in complement regulatory factors, but majority of cases seem to be associated with acquired factors that dysregulate the alternative complement pathway. Because clinical courses and prognoses among glomerular diseases with dominant C3 deposition differ, further understanding the background mechanism, particularly complement dysregulation in C3G, is needed. This may resolve current dilemmas in practice and shed light on novel targeted therapies to remedy the dysregulated alternative complement pathway in C3G.

<div class="figure-caption-contents">Schema illustrates the complement cascade and CRFs of the alternative pathway in C3G. The key events in C3G in this cascade include abnormal amplification of C3b production by activation of C3 to C3b through the following pathways. (<i>1</i>) Accelerated forming C3bBb by CFB through gain of function. Activation of C3b convertase by (<i>2</i>) dysfunction of CFH which degrades C3bBb, (<i>3</i>) enhancing CFH deregulation by dysfunction of CFHR, or (<i>4</i>) production of C3NeF which inhibits the degradation of C3bBb. (<i>5</i>) Suppression of C3b inactivation by CFH/CFI/MCP/CFHR also amplifies C3b activation. This dysregulation of CRFs may be caused not only by inherited mutations in the genes responsible for these factors but also in acquired factors such as auto-antibodies for CRFs and C3NeF. <i>CFH</i> complement factor H, <i>CFI</i> complement factor I, <i>CFHR</i> complement factor H-related proteins, <i>MCP</i> membrane cofactor protein, <i>CFB</i> complement factor B, <i>C3NeF</i> complement component 3 nephritic factor</div>

<div class="figure-caption-contents">Current status of C3G. Glomerular deposition of predominant C3 suggests the possibility of C3G, which needs to be discriminated from immune complex-mediated GN. By LM, C3G shows various glomerular patterns. DDD and C3GN are discriminated by EM features, but a clear distinction to differentiate these two diseases is often difficult. Alternative complement dysregulation is an ultimate definition of C3G, and several factors may amplify alternative complement activation such as CRF gene mutations causing loss or gain of function, and auto-antibodies such as C3NeF stabilizing C3 convertase. In most cases, however, the cause remains unknown. Monoclonal immunoglobulin occasionally functions as an auto-antibody. <i>IF</i> immunofluorescence, <i>LM</i> light microscopy, <i>EM</i> electron microscopy, <i>C3G</i> C3 glomerulopathy, <i>PIGN</i> post-infectious glomerulonephritis, <i>GN</i> glomerulonephritis, <i>DDD</i> dense deposit disease, <i>C3GN</i> C3 glomerulonephritis, <i>CRFs</i> complement regulatory factors, <i>C3NeF</i> complement component 3 nephritic factor</div>
