Damage assessment in adult IgA vasculitis. Cross-sectional results of a multicentre cohort.

CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort the most frequent damage item was renal and was related to the disease itself. Damage score was higher in patients with more severe disease and treated more aggressively. Our results suggest that more effective treatment options are needed in a subgroup of patients with IgA vasculitis to prevent the damage related with the vasculitis, especially with more severe disease.
