Patient's question:
14-year-old male, diagnosed with allergic purpura in June 2016, has been under treatment without full recovery. In February 2017, a detailed urinalysis revealed a pH of 6.0, protein±, RBC 0-2/HP, mild variation in RBC size, and RBC morphology suggesting: target-shaped red blood cells.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the treatment plan for your purpura nephritis should be determined based on the patient's age, clinical manifestations, and the extent of kidney damage. The first step in treatment is to actively control the immune-inflammatory response, suppress mesangial proliferative lesions in the glomeruli, and prevent and slow down the chronic fibrosis and inflammation of the kidneys. The above suggestions are hoped to be helpful to you. I hope the answer above can assist you. Thank you.
