Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 is a Prognostic Marker in ANCA-Associated Small Vessel Vasculitis
Figure 1
(a) U-MCP-1 as prognostic marker No OD: no development of critical damage according to VDI during followup. OD: development of critical damage according to VDI. All patients were in stable phase of the disease when the sample was taken (7 in remission, 8 with smouldering disease in the group who developed OD; 50 in remission and 17 with smouldering activity in the group who did not develop OD), presented as pg MCP-1/mmole creatinine. The box plot shows median value, with 95% confidence interval. (b) U-MCP-1 as predictor of relapse Yes: relapse within 3 months. No: no relapse within 3 months. All patients in stable phase of the disease when the sample was taken (6 in remission and 6 with smouldering disease in the group with subsequent relapse; 51 in remission and 19 with smouldering activity that did not relapse), presented as pg MCP-1/mmole creatinine. The box plot shows median value, with 95% confidence interval.
