Abstract: C1q nephropathy is a rare glomerulonephritis characterized by diffuse, dominant or codominant mesangial deposits of C1q complement, in the absence of a clinical and immunological profile of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We describe a case of a 27-year-old female with nephrotic syndrome of unclear cause, in whom SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome (SAF) were ruled out but who had a kidney biopsy compatible with this disease. Immunofluorescence showed mesangial deposits of C1q ++, IgG ++, IgM ++ C3 ++, and absence of IgA and C4 deposits. After the diagnosis, immunosuppressive management was established, achieving clinical stability. A case description and literature review of this rare cause of nephrotic syndrome is performed.
