Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating, inhibiting, alleviating or preventing fibrosis in a mammalian subject suffering, or at risk of developing a disease or disorder caused or exacerbated by fibrosis and/or inflammation. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of treating a subject suffering from renal fibrosis. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of reducing proteinuria in a subject suffering from a renal disease or condition associated with proteinuria. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods for reducing proteinuria in a human subject suffering, or at risk of developing Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN). The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory antibody effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation.
