Fig. 8From: The expression of NOD2, NLRP3 and NLRC5 and renal injury in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitisCorrelations of NLRs and clinicopathological data in AAV patients. a, b The mean optical density of NOD2 in glomeruli correlated with proteinuria and serum creatinine. c–e The mean optical density of NLRC5 in glomeruli correlated with proteinuria, BVAS and proportion of crescents. f Glomerular expression of three NLRs in different categories of Berden classification. Data were shown as mean ± standard error. ns no significance. *P < 0.05Back to article page
