Fig 4

Correlation between SLEDAI scores and total FLC, λFLC and κFLC levels in anti-dsDNA positive SLE patients (A) (n = 21) and in anti-dsDNA negative SLE patients (B) (n = 24). A: Anti-dsDNA positive SLE patients. r-values are 0.498 (p = 0.022), 0.555 (p = 0.009) and 0.458 (p = 0.037) regarding total FLC, λFLC and κFLC levels, respectively. B: Anti-dsDNA negative SLE patients. r-values are 0.105 (p = 0.626), 0.159 (p = 0.458) and 0.030 (p = 0.888) regarding total FLC, λFLC and κFLC levels, respectively. FLCs—free light chains, SLE—systemic lupus erythematosus, SLEDAI—SLE disease activity index.
