Results Patients were divided into tertiles according to their M-type phospholipase A 2
receptor autoantibody levels at the time of inclusion in the study: tertile 1 levels= 20–86
units/ml (low), tertile 2 levels= 87–201 units/ml (medium), and tertile 3 levels≥ 202 units/ml
(high). The median follow-up time of all patients in the study was 27 months (interquartile
range= 18–33 months). The clinical end point was reached in 69% of patients with high M-
type phospholipase A 2 receptor autoantibodies levels (tertile 3) but only 25% of patients …
