Cumulative renal survival curves for lupus nephritis patients. Cumulative renal survival curves for 37 lupus nephritis patients in analyses stratified as described. (a) Patients with a tubular metallothionein (MT) score ≥ 1.0 (solid line) versus patients with a tubular MT score < 1.0 (dashed line). (b) Patients with a chronicity index score < 4.0 (solid line) versus patients with a chronicity index score ≥ 4.0 (dashed line). (c) Patients with a score for interstitial fibrosis < 2.0 (solid line) versus patients with a score for interstitial fibrosis ≥ 2.0 (dashed line). Kaplan–Meier analyses with the log-rank test.
