Representative immunofluorescent staining for C1q and C3 at low magnification (×100) and at high magnification (×400) in IgAN patients and Kaplan-Meier survival curves (C, F) for primary outcomes according to glomerular C1q and C3 deposits respectively. (A) C1q 1+: seemingly visible at low magnification (×100), (B) C1q 1+: clearly visible at high magnification (×400), (C) Kaplan-Meier survival curve according to C1q deposits, (D) C3 3+: clearly visible at low magnification (×100), (E) C3 3+: dazzling at high magnification (×400), (F) Kaplan-Meier survival curve according to C3 deposits. Note: There were only 3 patients with no C3 immunofluorescent staining, so we combined those with C3 negative and with 1 + ~ 2 + C3 staining as one group
