CD61 and fibrin positivity were observed in 56.8% and 45.5% of cases, respectively, predominantly in glomeruli. CD61 positivity was associated with low complement 4 levels at kidney biopsy (OR: 4.50, 95% CI: 1.10\u201318.27;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.035).
