Regarding direct immunofluorescence, there were significantly lower proportions of IgM and C1q depositions in nonproteinuric DN patients than in matched proteinuric ones (11.1% vs. 77.8%, p<0.001 and 0.0% vs. 58.3%, p<0.05, respectively) (Table 3). Here, CD40LG is linked to liver dysplastic nodule.
