Abnormal immunity is involved in the pathophysiology of virtually any renal disease [1] and uremia per se has a significant impact on the immune system [2]. Nonetheless, the current understanding of specific immune abnormalities associated with different kidney diseases is quite rudimentary. This is responsible, at least in part, for the absence of specific treatments for most of these conditions.Steroids, alkylating agents and calcineurin inhibitors have been the main treatments for most glomerular diseases, despite their different immune pathogenesis [3]. This simplistic treatment attitude was initially driven by the limited therapeutic options. However, the availability of biologics has offered numerous novel treatments that have not been integrated in the armamentarium of the nephrologists due to a lack of knowledge of the immune pathogenesis in individual glomerular diseases, including specific immune cells and molecular pathways that should be targeted.
