Patient's question:
A child was diagnosed with allergic purpura, which was later confirmed by the hospital as purpura nephritis. All other tests were normal, except for slightly elevated microalbuminuria in the urine. At discharge, the levels returned to normal. I would like to ask if normal urinalysis results with only slightly elevated microalbuminuria also fall under purpura nephritis? Can this condition be cured without recurrence?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Hello, your child's condition still needs proper treatment, and regular follow-up urinalysis and continued outpatient medication are recommended. Because Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis is difficult to treat and prone to recurrence.
Suggestions:
Additionally, the diet for allergic purpura should be light. The staple foods should be rice, wheat products, and corn. Eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid greasy, sweet, and spicy foods to prevent gastrointestinal heat accumulation. Avoid foods such as raw onions, raw garlic, chili peppers, and alcohol. Also avoid high animal protein foods like meat, seafood, eggs, and milk, as well as beverages and convenience foods.
