The elevated expression of IL-13mRNA in tubulointerstitium was closely related to lupus activity in LN. The levels of IL-13mRNA in tubulointerstitium correlated to the renal function and urinary albumin excretion in FSGS and MsPGN.

• LN患者肾小管间质区IL－13 mRNA表达 水平与狼疮活动相关， MsPGN及FSGS患者肾小管间质区 IL－13 mRNA表达量与肾功能变化及24 h 尿蛋白量相关。
