The Contribution of CD40/CD40L Axis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Update.

abstract：:Proteinuria has been identified as prognosticator of renal outcome in patients with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis, but whether proteinuria is related to podocyte abnormalities in these patients is largely unknown. We here investigate podocyte foot process width and number of podocytes positive for the podocyte ma...
