Grades of renal pathology in patients with high sCD163 and normal sCD163. One hundred twenty-one patients with LN were divided into a normal sCD163 group (72 patients) and a high sCD163 group (49 patients). The renal pathological classification of all patients with LN was obtained by renal biopsy, and patients were divided into grades I (mild lesion grade), II (mesenteric hyperplasia grade), III (focal segmental grade), IV (diffuse hyperplasia grade) and V (membranous grade).
sCD163: soluble scavenger receptor differentiation antigen 163; LN: lupus nephritis.
