Urinary G3BP associated with renal histological changes. a uG3BP levels were significantly increased in proliferative (class III/IV ± V, n=60) LN patients, when compared to membranous LN (class V, n=23) (p=0.027) by Mann–Whitney U analysis. uG3BP positively correlated with concurrent (b) AI score (p=0.005) and its important components: c cellular/fibrocellular crescents (p=0.003) as well as d hyaline deposits (p=0.009). AI, activity index. ρ, Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Correlation analysis was done by Spearman’s method. *p<0.05; **p<0.01
