Figure 3From: The renal metallothionein expression profile is altered in human lupus nephritisCumulative renal survival curves for lupus nephritis patients. Cumulative renal survival curves for 37 lupus nephritis patients in analyses stratified as described. (a) Patients with a tubular metallothionein (MT) score ≥ 1.0 (solid line) versus patients with a tubular MT score < 1.0 (dashed line). (b) Patients with a chronicity index score < 4.0 (solid line) versus patients with a chronicity index score ≥ 4.0 (dashed line). (c) Patients with a score for interstitial fibrosis < 2.0 (solid line) versus patients with a score for interstitial fibrosis ≥ 2.0 (dashed line). Kaplan–Meier analyses with the log-rank test.Back to article page
