Contributions to the study of the complement
system in IgA nephropathy and dialysis

2. “C4d staining should be included into the current practice of IgA nephropathy management.” (this thesis)

focus on the role of the vascular compartment in this disease.” (this thesis)
4. “Complement activation contributes to the increased risk of cardiovascular events in hemodialysis.” (this thesis)
5. “The complement system is activated by intravenous iron administration in hemodialysis patients and induces oxidative stress.” (this thesis)
6. “Local and systemic complement activation are uncoupled in peritoneal dialysis.” (this thesis)
7. “sCD59 can become an important biomarker to predict technique survival in peritoneal dialysis.” (this thesis)
8. “C1q is protective against the occurrence of peritonitis, making the complement system a double-edged sword in peritoneal dialysis.” (this thesis) 9. “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” (Abraham Lincoln) 10.
