About this study
The aims of this study are to (1) determine the pathological spectrum of C3G, using clinical features available at diagnosis; clinical features over time; renal biopsy results at presentation and (where available) over time and (2) to determine if there are histological features within the renal biopsy that enable us to meaningfully stratify patients into prognostic groups.
