✦ Synopsis
Virus-like particles, about 45 nm in diameter, were present in renal epithelium (tubules and podocytes) of 12 patients with confirmed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and in 2 patients with probable SLE. They were not detected in renal biopsies from non-SLE patients. Morphologically, they suggest togavirus-like particles.

Objective. To assess graft and patient survival as well as causes for graft loss and patient death after renal transplantation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods. Eighty-seven renal transplantations were performed in 77 patients with SLE from 1972 to 2005. Each recipient w

We measured alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor-plasmin complexes (PI-PC) in plasma of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to examine the plasminogen activation in SLE. The plasma PI-PC level in 23 patients with SLE was significantly higher than that in 18 normal subjects (P less than 0.001) and
