No significant differences were observed between the two groups concerning gender, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, and hepatitis B), concomitant use of corticosteroids or immunosuppressants, total dose of RTX, blood pressure, lymphocytes (LYM), percentage of neutrophils (NEUT%), urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum immunoglobulin G (sIgG), and B-cell counts (p > 0.05). Here, CRP is linked to hepatitis B virus infection.
