Lupus & antiphospholipid syndrome
Extracellular mitochondrial components as new biomarkers for lupus nephritis
Authors' conclusion
Although the current data suggest using cell-free mitochondria as a biomarker of lupus nephritis is better than the cell-free mitochondrial DNA.
Study context
- Population
- LN patients
- Outcome
- Extracellular mitochondrial components (cell-free mitochondria and cell-free mitochondrial DNA) as biomarkers of the degree of nephritis
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Correlation of cell-free mitochondria and cell-free mitochondrial DNA with proteinuria and protein-creatinine ratio
- Both showed a significant correlation with proteinuria and protein-creatinine ratio
