Henoch-Schönlein nephritis: long-term prognosis of unselected patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Progressive glomerulonephritis is the most serious feature of Henoch-Schönlein syndrome. In a series of 141 children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura 39 (28%) had abnormal urinary sediment for a duration of more than one month. This subgroup was followed up for 3.0 to 13.8 (mean 7.2) years. One child progressed to renal failure and 2 developed chronic glomerular disease. In this series most of the patients with Henoch-Schönlein syndrome and nephritis had a good prognosis.

متن کاملPrognostic serological markers of Henoch-Schönlein nephritis.
Sir, We read with interest the article on Henoch-Schönlein purpura with nephritis in adults by Shrestha et al. They point out that there have been no serological markers of prognosis in Henoch-Schönlein nephritis (HSN) in both children and adults. However, a previous report of ours suggested that the serum IgA/C3 ratio could be a useful marker of disease activity in children with severe HSN. In...
متن کاملShould we follow up children with Henoch-Schönlein syndrome?
We reviewed 31 children who had had Henoch-Schönlein syndrome without nephritis at least 5 years before. None was found to have progressive renal disease and these patients do not require the same long-term follow-up as those with clinical renal involvement.
