Role of crescents for lupus nephritis in clinical, pathological and prognosis: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Referring to the International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) 2018 pathological classification, we aim to reveal the significance of cellular/fibrocellular crescents in lupus nephritis (LN) patients.

Methods
