What Rare Kidney Conditions May Be Diagnosed as CKD?
IgA nephropathy
Complement 3 glomerulopathy
Fabry disease
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
IgA Nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) is an autoimmune disease where antibodies — immune proteins — build up in your kidneys.
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
In focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), scar tissue forms on the glomeruli, decreasing kidney function.
Fabry Disease
Fabry disease is a disorder in which the body does not make enough of a specific protein. This protein, called alpha-GAL, breaks down a fatty substance called GL-3.
Complement 3 Glomerulopathy
Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a disease in which the immune system attacks and damages the kidneys.
