A: Changes in the trend of urinary protein quantity over 24 h of treatment in the two groups; B: Change in the trend of serum creatinine in the two groups over time. ^aP < 0.05 compared to glucocorticoid therapy group (GTG). ^bP < 0.01 compared to GTG. GTG: Glucocorticoid therapy group; ITG: Immunosuppressive therapy group.
