Abstract:
Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) is the most common secondary glomerular disease in children. The clinical manifestations of HSPN vary from microscopic hematuria, microalbuminuria to renal dysfunction even end stage renal disease which is needed to rely on long-term renal replacement therapy, thus affecting the quality of children life seriously. In recent years, the incidence of Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura continues to increase, which should be paid more attention. There are many studies about the treatment of HSPN both at home and abroad, yet no certain conclusion is drawn because of the inconsistent results. We advocate stepped therapies, that is, the appropriate regimens are chosen based on the clinical manifestations and renal pathology in children. For severe HSPN, we recommend multi-drug intensive therapy combined with other methods such as plasma exchange to alleviate the symptoms.
