GlycA correlates with measures for disease activity in SLE patient samples. In the 144 examined SLE patient samples, comprising samples from clinically quiescent patients (blue circles, n = 39) and from patients with active disease (purple triangles, n = 105), GlycA significantly correlates with C-reactive protein (CRP), SLE disease activity index 2K (SLEDAI-2K), and urinary protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR). Also depicted is the strong correlation between serum triglyceride (TG) and GlycA levels.
