Urine angiostatin and <scp>VCAM</scp>‐1 surpass conventional metrics in predicting elevated renal pathology activity indices in lupus nephritis

Abstract

Urinary angiostatin and VCAM-1 are predictive of specific histological changes in concurrent LN renal biopsies. Both urinary biomarkers are good candidates for use as noninvasive measures of renal pathology activity changes in LN.
