This study compared the clinical and laboratory data from children and adults with HSP. Methods: This retrospective 5-year study enrolled 65 children and 22 adult HSP patients attending a medical center. Results: Gross hematuria and lower-extremity edema were significantly more frequent in adults (p < 0.05). All the children developed renal involvement within 2 weeks, while 67% of the adult patients developed hematuria by the fifth week of disease onset. Elevated white blood cell count and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate were significantly more common in children (p < 0.05). Adults had a higher frequency of renal involvement (p < 0.05), though this was also present in 14 children (21.54%), 12 with isolated hematuria and proteinuria and two with nephrotic syndrome. All the children maintained normal renal function. Twelve adults had renal involvement (52.6%), six with progression to renal insufficiency. Patients with abdominal pain at disease onset had a significantly higher probability of developing nephrotic syndrome (p < 0.05). Logistic regression revealed that age > 20 years, male, bloody stools, clinical course with relapse of purpuric rash, and persistent rash for > 1 month were poor prognostic indicators for HSP nephritis (p < 0.05). Conclusions: HSP nephritis in adults had a higher risk of progression to renal insufficiency. More aggressive treatment and extended follow-up with repeated urinalysis for at least 6 weeks were often necessary, especially in older patients. ? 2009 Taiwan Pediatric Association. |
