Urinary VCAM-1 analysis according to nephritis status during follow-up. Active LN was defined as proteinuria (UPCR ≥0.5) plus active urinary sediment. Complete renal response was defined as UPCR < 0.5 and normal or near normal [within 10% of normal eGFR if previously abnormal] eGFR. Partial renal response was defined as ≥50% reduction in proteinuria to subnephrotic levels and normal or near-normal eGFR. eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; UPCR: urine protein-creatinine ratio
