Objective: Henoch-Schoenlein purpura (HSN), an IgA-mediated disease is the most common form of systemic vasculitis seen in childhood and long-term prognosis depends on renal involvement. We aimed to investigate the influence of renal IgA accumulation on clinical and histopathological findings in children with HSN.
