Altered P-selectin and CD44 expression in the renal tissues and peripheral blood of children with IgA nephropathy

摘要

Objective To understand the role of P-selectin (CD62P) and CD44 in mediating immune inflammation in the nephrotic process of children with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), cooperative expression of CD62P and CD44 in peripheral blood and renal tissues of IgAN children was investigated and its association with changes of histopathologic, serologic, and urinary properties was tested.
