Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Lupus nephritis is the archetype of diseases caused by the deposition of immune complexes. The characteristics which render only a portion of circulating immune complexes nephritogenic are not well delineated, but cationic charge of antigen and/or antibody may contribute. Lupus nephritis is characterized by extreme diversity of clinical manifestations and pathologic features. Scrupulous monitoring of urinary sediment and renal function tests is necessary to identify renal involvement in a phase which is amenable to therapeutic intervention. Evaluation of renal biopsies also assists in development of indications for therapy. The pathology of lupus nephritis is classified primarily as mesangial, focal proliferative, diffuse proliferative, and membranous nephropathy. Indexes of activity and of chronicity provide a succinct description of the balance of reversible and irreversible disease. The activity index incorporates glomerular hypercellularity, karyorrhexis/fibrinoid necrosis, leucocyte exudation, hyaline thrombi, cellular crescents, and interstitial inflammation. The chronicity index incorporates glomerular sclerosis, fibrous crescents, tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis. Delineation of the activity and chronicity indexes also facilitates the assessment of prognosis and the ordering of indications for therapy.
