Podocyte count and nephrin expression from different pathological types of sources
| Groups | Cases | Podocytes (cells/20 HP) | Nephrin (ng/mL) | uALB/Cr (µg/µmol) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FSGS | 8 | 48.82 ± 5.86 | 10.24 ± 4.31 | 673.45 ± 83.72 |
| MCD | 7 | 15.36 ± 3.69* | 4.21 ± 1.85* | 325.23 ± 38.46* |
| MSPGN | 10 | 22.15 ± 4.58* | 5.67 ± 2.34* | 433.62 ± 42.31* |
Data represent mean ± standard deviation. FSGS: focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; MCD: minimal change disease; MSPGN: mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis; uALB/Cr: urinary albumin/creatinine ratio.
