Article Synopsis
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) can lead to Lupus Nephritis (LN), causing podocyte injuries in kidneys, which are crucial for understanding disease mechanisms.
- A study analyzed 29 LN biopsy cases and 20 control cases, focusing on podocyte density and foot process effacement, using advanced imaging techniques.
- Results showed significantly lower podocyte density and increased foot process effacement in LN patients, particularly in specific classes, indicating a correlation between podocyte injury severity and inflammatory activity.
