Mechanisms of tissue injury in lupus nephritis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Microcirculation dysfunction is a typical feature of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and represents the earliest abnormality of primary myocardial involvement. We assessed coronary microcirculation status by combining two functional tests in SSc patients and estimating its impact on disease outcome. METHODS:Fort...
