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

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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and their specific tissue inhibitor TIMP-1 in kidney biopsies of patients with lupus nephritis (LN) and to investigate the relationship between MMPs, activity index, and renal...
