Urinary TWEAK Level as a Marker of Lupus Nephritis Activity in 46 Cases

Figure 3

uTWEAK levels correlated with LN renal biopsy index. uTWEAK levels of 34 patients with LN who had routine renal biopsies showed positive correlations with Active Index (AI) (𝑟=0.825, 𝑃<0.01), Glomerular Activity Index (GAI) (𝑟=0.745, 𝑃<0.01), and Tubulointerstitial Activity Index (TIAI) (𝑟=0.751, 𝑃<0.01). uTWEAK levels had no correlation with Chronicity Index (𝑃>0.05).
