Core Tip	Complement cascade is involved in different types of renal disease, from glomerulonephritides to pre-eclampsia, and the availability of new drugs, able to inhibit different steps of the cascade, re-defined this ancient pathway, and its blockage both in native and transplanted kidneys, as a new challenging frontier in renal disease treatment. In this review we evaluate the importance of complement cascade in renal transplantation diseases, focusing on available treatments, and we propose a speculative identification of areas where complement inhibition may be a promising strategy.
