Glomerular expression of matrix metalloproteinases in systemic lupus erythematosus in association with activity index and renal function.

CONCLUSIONS: MMP expression in renal biopsy of patients with LN is increased and directly related to a highly active inflammatory response. Moreover, stronger MMP expression is associated with higher activity index and a more profound renal dysfunction. PMID: 30973283 [PubMed - in process]
