Fig. 1From: Lack of partial renal response by 12 weeks after induction therapy predicts poor renal response and systemic damage accrual in lupus nephritis class III or IVCumulative CR rate and renal relapse-free rate for 3 years after induction therapy. a Cumulative CR rate is significantly higher in patients with PR at week 12 than in those with non-PR (HR 2.66, 95% confidence interval 2.13–5.47, p < 0.001). b Relapse-free rate is significantly higher in patients with PR at week 12 than in those with non-PR (HR 1.98, 95% confidence interval 1.10–5.35, p = 0.03). CR Complete renal response; PR Partial renal responseBack to article page
