Brief description This study investigates the novel hypothesis that a particular cell activation pathway (called Syk) is important not only in antibody-based kidney disease, but that it also plays a previously unrecognised role in other forms of antibody-independent kidney disease. Drugs that inhibit the Syk pathway are in clinical development for treatment of diseases such as arthritis. Hence, a positive outcome of this project could lead to the use of Syk inhibitors in many different types of kidney disease.
