Overview
Henoch-Schönlein purpura is diagnosed using a biopsy of the skin and kidney.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Indications
- No rash
- Abnormal renal function tests
Skin biopsy
- Light Microscopy
- IgA deposition in postcapillary venules with IgA deposition and leukocytoclastic vasculitis in is a pathognomonic microscopic feature of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura.
- Skin lesions less than 24 hrs are preferred as the chronic lesion lack the immunoglobulin isotypes essential for the diagnosis of HSP.
- A biopsy from a different skin site is taken for the immunofluorescent studies to confirm the diagnosis.
Renal biopsy
- IgA deposition in the mesangium on immunofluorescence microscopy should be differentiated from the IgA nephropathy.
- Light microscopic features range from isolated mesangial proliferation to severe crescentic glomerulonephritis.
