AUC, Area under the Curve of ROC; Cl, confidence interval; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; MEST-C, histologic score based on mesangial hypercellularity, the presence of endocapillary proliferation, segmental glomerulosclerosis/adhesion, and severity of tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis, and crescents formation.

a

Expressed as AUC, continuous biomarkers were used in the model.

b

Comprising mean arterial blood pressure, 24 hour proteinuria, and estimated glomerular filtration rate at biopsy.

c

Oxford histologic classification.
