Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To identify correlation if any, between lymphocyte subset distribution in the peripheral blood and in renal tissue. 2. To determine correlation if any, between peripheral blood lymphocyte subset and clinical remission achieved following immunosuppressive regimens at the end of six months of initial intensive treatment phase. Timepoint: 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To detect correlation if any, between peripheral blood lymphocyte subset, serum inflammatory markers and disease activity score at presentation. 2. To recognize any correlation between peripheral blood lymphocyte subset and incidence of serious infection during immunosuppressive therapyTimepoint: Till the end of the treatment
