The proportions of urinary CD11c⁺ macrophages and clinicopathologic features of proliferative lupus nephritis (LN). a The proportions of urinary CD11c⁺ macrophages among CD45⁺ cells in patients with proliferative LN (n = 27) according to the presence of tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, glomerular crescents, and glomerular sclerosis. b Correlation between the proportions of urinary CD11c⁺ macrophages, and chronicity, activity scores, the degrees of proteinuria, and disease activity in patients with proliferative LN (n = 27). c Difference in the proportions of urinary CD11c⁺ macrophages between patients with and without renal response to immunosuppressants (no [−], partial/complete [+]) (n = 23)
