Figures & data
Table 1. General characteristics of the study participants at diagnosis.
Figure 1. Scatter plot shows the distributions of coaugulation-related parameters. (a) Fibrinogen levels in PMN and health controls. (b–d) Plasma factor VIII, factor IX and factor XI activity in PMN. (e) Tissue factor levels in PMN and health controls. (f–h) Activity of protein C, protein S and AT III in PMN. (i,j) PT and APTT levels in PMN and health controls. PMN, Primary membranous nephropathy; AT III, antithrombin-III; PT, Prothrombin time; APTT, Activated partial thromboplastin time.

Figure 2. Scatter plot shows the levels of PCSK9 in PMN patients and health controls. PCSK9 was highly skewed, so natural log transformation was used for the analysis. PMN, Primary membranous nephropathy; PCSK9, proprotein convertase subtilisin/Kexin type 9.

Figure 3. Association of PCSK9 and coagulation-related indicators in PMN patients. PMN, Primary membranous nephropathy; PCSK9, proprotein convertase subtilisin/Kexin type 9; AT III, antithrombin-III.
