Question
The child previously had pediatric allergic purpura and then it kept recurring. After visiting a doctor, the doctor said to endure until the hospital’s physical examination, checking urine and stool regularly. General allergic purpura often affects the kidneys and digestive system. What should be done in this situation?
Answer
Allergic purpura is mainly caused by a vasculitis of small arteries and capillaries in other organs after contact with an allergen. It can be divided into four types: skin type, arthritis type, abdominal type, and renal type, which can lead to purpuric nephritis if it affects the kidneys. The first step is to eliminate the allergen, use a sufficient amount of antihistamines, and regularly go to the hospital for re-examination of urine and kidney function. Avoid eating foods and taking medications that harm the kidneys.
