Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV; initially known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura) is a form of vasculitis involving the small blood vessels of the gastrointestinal tract, skin, joints, and kidney, presenting as a multisystem disorder. A 21-year-old gentleman presented with joint pain, skin rash, abdominal pain, and proteinuria. Biopsies performed from the skin and kidney were both consistent with IgA deposition. The patient was treated with a short course of low-dose steroids because of the involvement of multiple organ systems. His symptoms abated, proteinuria resolved, and steroids were stopped after four weeks. He remains in complete remission at the time of the last follow-up, 12 months after the initial presentation.
免疫球蛋白A血管炎(IgAV;最初称为过敏性紫癜)是一种累及胃肠道、皮肤、关节和肾脏小血管的血管炎,表现为多系统疾病。一名21岁男性出现关节疼痛、皮疹、腹痛和蛋白尿。皮肤和肾脏活检均与IgA沉积一致。由于多器官系统受累,该患者接受了短疗程低剂量类固醇治疗。他的症状减轻,蛋白尿消失,四周后停用类固醇。在初次就诊12个月后的最后一次随访时,他仍处于完全缓解状态。
