Moreover, urine samples were analysed separately by ELISA for additional markers of kidney pathology: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), osteopontin (OPN), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and galectin-3 (Gal-3). The concentrations of all studied molecules were normalized to urine creatinine levels. In 10 patients, post-treatment levels of the biomarkers were measured.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Normalized u-Gal-3BP levels were higher in LN patients compared to the other groups ( p &lt; .0001). Comparing different LN classes, u-Gal-3BP levels were higher among patients with proliferative (class III\/IV) and membranous (class V) as compared to mesangial (class II) forms ( p = .04). In proliferative forms, u-Gal-3BP levels correlated with the activity index in renal biopsies (r = 0.42, p = .004). Moreover, in a subset of 10 patients with repeated kidney biopsy and urine sampling before and after induction treatment, a significant decrease of u-Gal-3BP was observed ( p = .03) . Among the other markers, KIM-1 was also able to discriminate LN from the other groups, while NGAL, OPN and Gal-3 could not in this cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n

observed correlation with the activity index in renal biopsies, and its levels declining following treatment, u-Gal-3BP shows promise as a non-invasive urinary biomarker to help detecting and to monitor renal involvement in SLE patients and should be validated in larger cohorts.<\/jats:p>\n
