Question

What are the prognosis care measures for allergic purpura?

Answer

The prognosis care for allergic purpura depends on several factors: whether important organs are involved, the severity of the acute phase, and whether there are recurrent episodes. The skin and joint types have a shorter course, lasting about 1 to 2 weeks; the abdominal type takes about 3 to 5 weeks; and the renal type can last up to 4 to 5 years or more. The skin and joint types have a better prognosis; the abdominal type also has a good prognosis if complications such as intussusception or intestinal obstruction do not occur. Most renal type patients can recover after treatment, but if not cured in time, it may develop into chronic renal function failure or even uremia.
