Abstract

Complement Inhibition in Rare Kidney Disease is an area of active development in translational medicine, with evidence that has
accumulated unevenly across its component questions. We review the current evidence base for complement inhibition in rare
kidney disease, spanning analytical, clinical, implementation, governance, and economic dimensions, focusing on where practice
has converged and where it continues to vary, and set out the practical considerations relevant to a service considering its
adoption. We conclude that selective, context-specific use is best supported by the evidence currently available, rather than
uniform adoption or avoidance.
