LTB and CXCL6 protein expression levels in IgAN with chronic renal lesions. (A) A strong LTB tubular expression has been found in the chronic lesion group compared to the other groups (n = 4 active group; n = 5 chronic; n = 4 non IgAN; n = 6 LN; n = 4 KLD). Kruskal–Wallis test p value = 0.0038. Dunn’s multiple comparison test, chronic versus active, chronic versus non-IgAN, chronic versus LN and chronic versus KLD, all p < 0.05. (B) A strong CXCL6 tubular expression has been found in the active lesion group compared to the other groups (n = 5 active group; n = 5 chronic; n = 5 non-IgAN; n = 6 LN; n = 4 KLD). Kruskal–Wallis test p = 0.0074. Dunn’s multiple comparison test, chronic versus active, chronic versus non-IgAN, chronic versus LN and chronic versus KLD, all p < 0.05. Magnification 40 × .
