From: Serum levels of autoantibodies against C-reactive protein correlate with renal disease activity and response to therapy in lupus nephritis

Figure 2

Baseline anti-C-reactive protein antibody levels in responders and non-responders to given therapy. At baseline, there was a highly significant difference in anti-C-reactive protein (anti-CRP) antibody levels between patients that would respond (n = 16) and would not respond (n = 22) to therapy (analysed with Mann-Whitney U test). Response to therapy was defined as a renal British Isles Lupus Assessment Group improvement ≥ 2 grades. The limitations extend down from the lowest value and up to the highest. Median value for responders was 4 units, and was 9 units for nonresponders. Boxes show the 25th to 75th percentile, with median values marked inside.
