Key Points:
- IgA vasculitis (formerly known as Henoch-Schonlein purpura/HSP) is a small vessel vasculitis that causes palpable purpura, abdominal pain, arthritis or arthralgias, IgA deposition on biopsy, and/or renal involvement.
- Management is mainly supportive with hydration and pain management. Steroids can be given for severe GI or renal involvement as well as immunosuppressants, plasmapheresis, or transplant if severe renal symptoms.
- IgA vasculitis symptoms typically resolve within 4-6 weeks but 1/3 of patients will have relapse or recurrence within 1 year. Monitoring for renal involvement is important.
