Plasma Proteomic Analysis Reveals the Potential Role of Lectin and Alternative Complement Pathways in IgA Vasculitis Pathogenesis.

Our results clearly suggest the role of the lectin and alternate complement pathways in IgAV. The proteins defined in the pathways of cell adhesion may serve as biomarkers. Further functional studies may lead the way to better understanding of the disease and new therapeutic options for IgAV treatment.
