Patient's question:
Hello, I am Zi Dian with food allergies. I visited the hospital and was told it's purpura nephritis. I've been taking medication for about a year, and the protein levels have gone down, but there are still a few spots on my arms that haven't disappeared. Should I continue taking medication?Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura is a manifestation of vascular inflammation caused by the body's allergic reaction to various allergens such as drugs, foods, and pollen. It is an immune-related disease and is not contagious. Active antiallergic treatment, vitamin supplementation, and improving vascular permeability are necessary for allergic purpura. It is also important to avoid contact with allergens as much as possible. Allergic purpura can also lead to nephritis. Traditional Chinese medicine can be taken as an adjunctive treatment.
