C1q Nephropathy (C1q)<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

C1q Nephropathy is one of the many diseases causing Nephrotic Syndrome. C1q is a normal protein of the immune system and is found throughout the circulatory system. In an individual with C1q Nephropathy the protein is also found deposited in the the kidneys. As an overall disease, it is very similar to Minimal Change Diease and FSGS.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

Who Gets C1q<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is not yet known why C1q Nephropathy develops, or why some people deposit C1q in their kidneys. It is thought that deposited C1q protein activates the immune system within the kidney,  resulting in an immune response and inflammation that can eventually cause kidney damage. It is more commonly found in children, but as doctors are becoming more aware of what to look for, they are finding more cases in early adulthood and middle-aged patients.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
