C3G Awareness Day 2025 

On September 25th, NephCure is proud to recognize C3G Awareness Day, a day dedicated to shining a light on Complement 3 Glomerulopathy (C3G), a rare chronic kidney disease that damages the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units in the kidneys that help remove toxins from the blood and can ultimately lead to kidney failure. 

For the first time ever, there are FDA-approved treatments that may help preserve kidney function and prevent the need for dialysis or transplant.

The time to be proactive is now. Join NephCure on September 25th and share your story, repost one of our posts, or create your own post using the hashtag #C3GAwarenessDay and help us spread awareness.

Living with C3G: What You Need to Know

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with C3G, you may have questions about what comes next. Rare kidney diseases can be difficult to manage—but there is hope.

Watch this educational session to hear from kidney experts, patient advocates, and real patients as they share:

  • What C3G is and how they affect the kidneys
  • Current treatment options and their limits
  • The value of clinical trials
  • Patient experiences and practical advice for talking with your doctor

What is Complement 3 Glomerulopathy (C3G)?

Complement 3 Glomerulopathy (C3G) is a kidney condition where excessive activation of the complement system damages the filtering units (glomeruli), impairing kidney function. It affects individuals differently and can progress without noticeable symptoms—making early awareness and diagnosis vital.
