Patient's question:
Child is 8 years old, suffering from Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis. Hospital examination results: 2+ protein in urine, 2+ hematuria. When can Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Children with allergic purpura nephritis are primarily treated with hormones. The child currently has both proteinuria and hematuria, and the treatment course generally lasts 3 to 6 months. Regular follow-up of urine routine and 24-hour urine protein quantification is necessary. Since the child is only 7 years old, if persuasion and adherence are possible, traditional Chinese medicine can be taken. It is recommended to reduce hormone use after the disease is controlled and then take some traditional Chinese medicine preparations such as Jin Shui Bao or Liu Wei Di Huang Wan.
