C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare and complex kidney disease that primarily affects young adults. Renal outcomes remain poor in the absence of specific treatment. C3G is driven by uncontrolled overactivation of the alternative complement pathway, which is mainly of acquired origin. Functional characterization of complement abnormalities (i.e., autoantibodies targeting complement components and variants in complement genes) identified in patients and experimental models of the disease improved the understanding of the disease, making C3G a prototype of complement-mediated diseases. The contribution of C3 convertase, as well as C5 convertase, in disease occurrence, phenotype, and severity is now well established, offering various potential therapeutic interventions. However, the lack of sufficient efficiency in anti-C5 therapy highlights the extreme complexity of the disease and the need for new therapeutic approaches based on C3 and C3 convertase axis inhibition. Here, we provide an overview of the complement activation mechanism involved in C3G and discuss therapeutic options based on complement inhibitors, with a specific focus on C3 inhibition.
