ITGAX and diabetes mellitus: In fact, there were no significant differences in the eGFR values and the incidence of hypertension, diabetes, and the use of steroid or cyclophosphamide between the responders and nonresponders, suggesting that the level of urinary CD11c+ macrophages was not significantly affected by these confounding factors (baseline eGFR, P = 0.995; hypertension, P > 0.99; diabetes, P = 0.261; steroid use of moderate or high dose, P = 0.632; cyclophosphamide, P > 0.99).
