Figure 3. Urine filamin C and meprin A correlate with disease activity in patients with KD.
- A,B. Urine meprin A (A) and filamin C (B) levels in five patients with KD, as measured in matched specimens collected at diagnosis, 24–48 h after treatment, and 1 month after complete clinical response.
- C. Urine meprin A level in one patient who experienced recurrence of KD 5.5 months after initial presentation.
- D. Scatter plot showing urine filamin C levels in patients who responded to initial therapy (red, responders) versus those who required repeat treatment (green, non-responders). p = 0.0015.
