    The Road to Diagnosis

    From unexplained childhood symptoms to a life-changing diagnosis, this episode traces one patient's long road to understanding C3G, a rare complement-mediated kidney disease. Michelle Farley shares how years of dismissal, misdiagnosis, and crisis ultimately led to answers, a transplant, and a new era of targeted treatment. Dr. Carla Nester breaks down the science behind the "overactive alarm system" driving these conditions and explains how recent advances are transforming what was once considered untreatable. It's a story about persistence, partnership, and the power of finally being heard.
