Methylprednisolone's influence on the plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in lupus nephritis patients / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of methylprednisolone that decrease plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1) in plasma through mediating the PA/plasmin system.Methods:Employed immunohistochemical technique-ELISA to determine PAI-1 level in plasma.Results:①PAI-1 in LN patients is significantly higher than that in the control group (P0.05).Conclusion:It is thus proved that methylprednisolone is capable of decreasing PAI-1 in plasma through mediating the PA/plasmin system and two shocks is the minimum for effective cure.
