Table 4

Association between absolute FOXP3+ Tregs count in the interstitial tissue (per mm²) and histological lesions.

	Absolute FOXP3+ Tregs count in the interstitial tissue (per mm^2)		value
Segmental sclerosis or not	1.047 ± 858	1.477 ± 2.315	ns
Global glomerulosclerosis or not	1.265 ± 1.548	632 ± 286	ns
Interstitial fibrosis ≥25% or interstitial fibrosis <25%	1.462 ± 1.766	718 ± 462	ns
Dense interstitial inflammation or sparse interstitial inflammation	1.476 ± 1.738	777 ± 837	ns
Arteriolar hyalinosis or not	831 ± 696	1.814 ± 2.160	0.029

Note. Data are presented as mean value ± standard deviation or as percentage. ns: not significant and Tregs: regulatory T cells.
