Complement receptors and Fc receptors both contribute to removal of immune complexes from the circulation.  Surprisingly, individuals with defects in the early components of the classical complement cascade (i.e., C1, C2, or C4) suffer from an autoimmune type of kidney damage, rather than from an immunodeficiency leading to increased susceptibility to infections. Why do these complement defects lead to autoimmune kidney damage?
