Figure 6From: Serum under-O-glycosylated IgA1 level is not correlated with glomerular IgA deposition based upon heterogeneity in the composition of immune complexes in IgA nephropathy Immunoglobulin and complement deposition area in glomerulus. a. Distribution of Area-IgA (%) in each terminal node (group). Area-IgA (%) of each patient is plotted and the difference of each group was estimated. The horizontal bar shows the mean value of the group. ★P < 0.05, ★★P < 0.01, ★★★P < 0.001 (The stars shows the difference in the data from both ends of a line). b. Distribution of IgG deposition area (%) in each group. There was no significant difference of IgG deposition area between any pairs of each group. c. Distribution of C3 deposition area (%) in each group. The C3 deposition area in glomerulus (%) of each patient is plotted as IgA and IgG. The mean value of Group D was significantly lower than that of Group B (★P < 0.05).Back to article page
