Low complement factors	Normal complement factors
– Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis – Other post-infectious glomerulonephritis – Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and C3 glomerulopathy – Lupus nephritis – Shunt-nephritis – Cryoglobulinemia – Glomerulonephritis associated with infectious endocarditis	– IgA nephropathy – IgA vasculitis nephritis (former name: Henoch-Schönlein nephritis) – ANCA-associated vasculitis – anti-GBM disease (Goodpasture disease) – Membranous nephropathy

ANCA – anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies, GBM – glomerular basement membrane
