Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Nephritis: Symptoms, Cause and Treatment

Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a systemic immunological vascular disease. It can affect multiple organs and tissues like skin, joint and so on. If it involves kidneys, it will cause kidney damage, which is termed as Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Nephritis.

Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Nephritis Cause

Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Nephritis is autoimmune disease. In normal case, the immune system can protect the body from the foreign pathological substances invading into body. Therefore, the body can keep in a healthy and normal state. However, in some cases, the immunity system is activated improperly. As a result, the complexes of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and complement component 3 (C3) are deposited on arteries, capillaries and venules. Afterwards, these immune complexes will be carried to glomerular mesangial are by blood circulation. As the kidneys have specific blinding epitopes, the immune complexes will deposit in glomeruli mesangial cells. The body mounts an inflammatory response to remove the immune complexes. Ultimately, the inflammation can cause damage to and impair the function of the glomeruli, leading to Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Nephritis.
