How long can I live?” As a matter as fact, HPSN is not incurable. The key is to find out a correct treatment. http://www.kidney-symptom.com/patient-story/2000.html

First of all, what is HPSN?

Purpura is bleeding clots. HPSN refers that henoch-schonlein purpura attacks kidneys. It is characterized by necrotic microvasculitis. Its clinical manifestation includes skin purpura, joint pain, abdominal pain, hematochezia, blood urine, proteinuria, etc.

Is HPSN caused by allergy?

Food or medication allergy may be only one of the inducements. Currently many other factors such as bacteria, virus, insect bite and coldness can also trigger the disease. When facing those inducements, some people may be attacked, while for some other people, they may not. Therefore, this disease is also associated with inheritance, immune system, etc. So far many studies are carried out for the pathogenesis.http://www.kidney-symptom.com/patient-story/2000.html
