how to treat Henoch Schonlein Purpura Nephritis
Henoch Schonlein Purpura Nephritis should be treated with different schedules according to patients’ ages, clinical presentations, and the levels of kidney damage.
Positively control immune inflammatory response; restrain glomerular mesentery proliferative lesion; prevent and delay the forming of chronic renal fibrosis lesion.
Overall prognosis is good in most patients, and the prognosis is better in children than adults. The prognosis is almost perfect for patients with single hematuria. And the prognosis for patients with different levels of proteinuria [(<1g/24h,>1g/24h) and Nephrotic Syndrome] is related to renal ingravescence. The prognosis for patients with Acute Nephritis Syndrome is bad. Most of them will develop End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
1.Some cases do not receive treatment because of the high spontaneous recovery rate, especially for mild cases.
2.Before occurring to rash, pay attention whether patients touched the suspected food and foreign matter causing allergy. Avoid to touching again.
3.Patients with PN should be given the different treatments according to ages, clinical presentations and levels of kidney damage.
4 For the patients with severe clinical symptoms or diffuse pathological lesions, and crescent formation, they should use hormone together with immunosuppressive drugs to control the disease development as soon as possible.
5. For the patients having taken hormone, they should decrease the dosage and times under the doctor’s guidance. Never stop the drugs casually.
