Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 is a Prognostic Marker in ANCA-Associated Small Vessel Vasculitis

Table 4

Correlation matrix. U = urine, MCP-1 = monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, IgM = immunoglobulin M, IL-6 = interleukin 6, IL-8 = interleukin 8, ANCA = anti neutrophil cytoplasmatic autoantibodies, CRP = C-reactive protein, BVAS = Birmingham vasculitis activity score. Markers measured in the urine are expressed in relation to U-creatinine (mmol/l). For statistics, the Spearman’s rank correlation test and simple regression analysis were performed.
