Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV), formerly known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, primarily occurs during childhood between the ages of 3 and 15 years and is the most common form of systemic vasculitis in children ; its occurrence in adults has been rarely reported. Such low incidence could be attributable to either under-diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Thus, not only pediatricians but also physicians should be able to diagnose IgAV accurately to manage the patients appropriately and avoid its associated complications. Read More

The pathogenesis of the immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is still unknown. The available data shows that interleukin (IL)-17, IL-18, IL-23, regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (CCL 5, RANTES), and interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP10) participate in the pathogenesis of IgAV by influencing the recruitment of leukocytes to the site of inflammation. The aim of this study was to analyze the serum concentration of IL-17A, IL-18, IL-23, RANTES, and IP10 in patients with acute IgAV compared to healthy children. Read More

Background: Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) is the most common secondary glomerular disease in children. Currently, the treatment for HSPN is always selected based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines; however, this approach may lead to undertreatment, especially in patients with persistent proteinuria that does not reach nephrotic levels and/or hematuria and those with a pathological classification between grades 1 and 3 according to the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children. This study was performed to evaluate the curative effect and safety of a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) integrated treatment program in this type of HSPN. Read More
