Comparison of immunosenescence markers according to disease activity status of systemic lupus erythematosus patients

Variable	Inactive SLE patients (n = 12)	Active SLE patients (n = 41)	p-value
CD4+CD57+ [%]	1.2 (0.7–2.4)	0.8 (0.6–1.9)	0.444
CD4+KLRG1+ [%]	2.1 (1.3–5.0)	2.5 (1.2–4.6)	0.772
CD8+CD57+ [%]	7.9 ±6.9	12.7 ±6.9	0.041*
CD8+KLRG1+ [%)]	8.4 ±5.3	15.2 ±7.4	0.004*
IFN-γ levels [pg/ml]	146.7 (130.2–210.8)	208.9 (148.3–233.8)	0.048*

IFN-γ – interferon γ, KLRG1 – killer cell lectin like receptor G1
