dc.description.abstractIn order to evaluate clinical features and renal pathological findings of Henoch-Schonlein syndrome (HSS) in northern Indian Children, we studied 47 such cases. The mean age at onset was 8.5 yr; sex ratio (M:F) 2.6:1. The clinical features were purpuric rash (96%), abdominal pain (64%), Henoch-Schonlein nephritis (51%) and arthralgias (47%). Patients younger than 6 yr also showed urticarial rash or edema of scalp and extremities. Henoch-Schonlein nephritis (HSN) and abdominal symptoms were more common in older cases. The manifestations of HSN were asymptomatic hematuria and/or proteinuria (n = 15), acute nephritic syndrome (n = 6), and nephrotic syndrome (n = 3). The severity of clinical manifestations correlated with the renal pathologic findings. On follow up, 29% cases showed renal impairment. The prognosis was poor in patients with the acute nephritic or nephrotic syndrome and crescents in more than 50% glomeruli. Combination of clinical data and renal biopsy findings are important in assessing the long-term outcome in cases with HSN.en_US
