IgA Vasculitis

IgA vasculitis, also known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, is a common type of blood vessel inflammation that can cause abdominal pain, joint pain, and kidney damage. It is most common in children but can also occur in adults. While it often goes away on its own, it can lead to chronic kidney disease in some cases. Early detection and proper management are important for a better prognosis. This page provides information on the symptoms, complications, and treatment options for IgA vasculitis.
