PTX3 and Genetic thrombotic microangiopathy: The levels of proteinuria, serum creatinine, and the prevalence of thrombotic microangiopathy were significantly higher in patients with higher PTX3 levels (≥3.207 ng/ml) and without anti-PTX3 auto-antibodies compared with patients with lower PTX3 levels (<3.207 ng/ml) and with anti-PTX3 auto-antibodies (4.79 (3.39–8.28) versus 3.95 (1.78–7.0), p = .03; 168.84 ± 153.63 versus 101.44 ± 47.36, p = .01; 34.1% (14/41) versus 0% (0/9), p = .04; respectively).
