Open Access Abstract Introduction Glomerular microthrombosis GMT is a common vascular change in patients with lupus nephritis LN . The mechanism underlying GMT is largely unknown. Although several studies have reported the association of antiphospholipid antibodies aPL with GMT the relation between GMT and aPL remains controversial. Previous studies have demonstrated that some aPL could bind to several hemostatic and fibrinolytic proteases that share homologous enzymatic domains. Of the protease-reactive aPL some can inhibit the anticoagulant activity of activated protein C and the fibrinolytic function of plasmin and hinder the antithrombin inactivation of thrombin. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of GMT in LN patients and .
