Recurrent adult onset Henoch-Schonlein Purpura: a case report. Gaskill, Neil; Guido, Bruce; Mago, Cynthia

We present a case of recurrent Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) complicated by nephritis in an adult female initially categorized as IgA nephropathy (IgAN). We review the pathophysiologic basis of HSP nephritis as the variant of HSP accompanied by renal involvement and its pathogenetic commonality with IgA nephropathy.
