FIGURE 1 A: Serum C1q levels were significantly higher in TA patients than in healthy controls (p =0.008); B: Serum C1q levels were significantly higher in TA patients with active disease than inpatients who had inactive disease (p <0.0001); C: Serum C1q levels were significantly higher in treatment-naïve patients than in those who had always been treated with corticosteroids or at least one immunosuppressant (p =0.001).
TA: Takayasu arteritis.
FIGURE 2 The ROC curves for Cq, ESR, hs-CRP and the combination of the three indicators in 190 TA patients according to NIH criteria.
ROC: receiver operating characteristics; AUC: area under the ROC curve; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; hs-CRP: hypersensitivity C-reactive protein; TA: Takayasu arteritis; NIH: National Institutes of Health.
