Spectrum of Anti–Factor B-Associated Glomerular Diseases in Adults

Autoantibodies targeting complement factor B (anti-FB) are among the most recently described alternative pathway anomalies. Although they have been strongly associated with post-infectious glomerulonephritis in children, the clinical phenotypes associated with such antibodies, along with their effects on the alternative pathway in adults, remain elusive and require further characterization, which was the goal of this study.
