Overview

The complement system is a biochemical cascade which helps clear pathogens from an organism. It belongs to the innate immune system. Deficiencies in this cascade can lead to infections and autoimmune diseases. Complement deficiencies can be inherited or acquired (as a result of complement-consuming disease state).
