Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic vasculitic disorder first reported by Heberden in 1806. The association of purpura and joint pain was described by Sch?nlein in 1837, who termed it “peliosis rheumatica.” Henoch added a description of four children with skin lesions associated with colicky abdominal pain, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and joint pain in 1874, and in 1899 pointed out that renal involvement sometimes occurred. Synonyms include anaphylactoid purpura, allergic vasculitis, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and rheumatoid purpura. It is a multisystem disorder mainly affecting the skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract, and kidneys but sometimes other organs.
Although severe kidney involvement in children with Henoch-Shonlein purpura (HSP) is rarer than that in adults, morbidity should not be underevaluated and follow-up is mandatory. Some drugs are introduced as well-defined treatment options, others can be promising therapeutic alternatives.
