The comparison analysis of urinary podocyte-derived MPs with histological features in SLE patients with LN. a Analysis of urinary podocyte-derived MPs in two subgroups of biopsy-proven LN patients: proliferative LN (pure Type II, Type III, and Type IV), Type V LN, and combined LN (Type III + V and Type IV + V). b Analysis of urinary podocyte-derived MPs in biopsy-proven LN patients with different degrees of activity indices. c Analysis of urinary podocyte-derived MPs in biopsy-proven LN patients with different degrees of chronicity indices. Data are shown as scatter dot plot displaying median, interquartile range. *P < 0.05. d The effacement degree of podocyte foot processes in pure proliferative LN, membranous LN, and combined membranous LN observed by electron microscopy
