Interestingly, further analysis of clinical characteristics (age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum levels of total protein, albumin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and serum creatinine at the time of kidney biopsy) of patients with observed MC podocytes compared with those with non-MC podocytes on TEM, revealed no observable difference, except in the patients with LN in which serum total protein and albumin were lower in the patients with MC podocytes (Supplemental Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and lobular neoplasia.
