Fig. 4From: Serum chitinase-3-like 1 protein is a useful biomarker to assess disease activity in ANCA-associated vasculitis: an observational studyChanges in serum YKL-40 levels in patients with decreased AAV activity. In 12 patients with serial YKL-40 measurement, serum YKL-40 levels were significantly reduced with decreased BVAS at follow-up. Paired t-test was done to evaluate the changes of serum YKL-40 levels.
