Overview

C4 glomerulopathy must be differentiated from other diseases that cause proteinuria, hematuria, and peripheral edema, such as IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulus /minimal change disease, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and lupus nephritis.

Differential Diagnosis

On the basis of proteinuria, hematuria, C4 dense deposition, and edema, C4 glomerulopathy must be differentiated from IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, membranous nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, focal Segmental Glomerulus /minimal change disease[1].

Disease History and Physical Examination Diagnostic approach
Proteinuria Hematuria Peripheral edema Hypertension Weight gain C4 dense deposition in the glomerulus Complement pathway Gold standard test
IgA Nephropathy + + + + + Mesengial - Renal biopsy
Membranous Nephropathy + - + - + Glomerular capillary wall - Renal biopsy
Focal Segmental Glomerulus /Minimal Change Disease + + + - + No Cd4 deposits + Renal biopsy
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis + - + + + Along capillary walls - Renal biopsy
Lupus Nephritis - + + + + Mesangium and capillary wall + Renal biopsy
