(a) Urinary protein/creatinine ratio, (b) serum albumin, and (c) estimated glomerular filtration rate at baseline and throughout study course. (d) Representative plots for CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127^LOW T regulatory cells (T_REG) at baseline and at 12 months posttreatment; (e) quantification of circulating T_REG; (f) total CD4⁺ T cells, and (g) T_REG/CD4⁺ T cell ratio at baseline and throughout study. Data are represented as median ± interquartile range. P/C, urinary protein/creatinine ration; T_REG, regulatory T cells. ∗P < 0.05 versus month 0.
