Comparison of baseline characteristics and complete remission rate according to the location of glomerular IgG deposits
| Capillary wall + mesangial (n = 5) | Mesangial-only (n = 24) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Follow-up period (months) | 28.8 ± 11.9 | 37.8 ± 15.4 | 0.213 M |
| Duration from onset (months) | 17.6 ± 18.8 | 28.2 ± 30.1 | 0.414 M |
| eGFR (ml/min/1.73 mm2) | 86.6 ± 37.9 | 73.7 ± 23.4 | 0.299 M |
| Proteinuria (g/day) | 1.2 ± 0.8 | 0.6 ± 0.5 | 0.091 M |
| Histological grade 1/2/3/4, n | 5/0/0/0 | 12/11/1/0 | 0.270 C |
| Underwent ST, n ( %) | 3 (60.0 %) | 16 (66.7 %) | 0.816 F |
| Achievement of CR, n (%) | 3 (60.0 %) | 5 (20.8 %) | 0.554 F |
Data are shown as mean ± SD or number (percent). The Mann–Whitney U test, Fisher exact test and chi-squared test were used to compare baseline characteristics and proportion of complete remission between the two groups
ST steroid pulse therapy combined with tonsillectomy, CR complete remission, M Mann–Whitney U test, F Fisher exact test, C chi-squared test
