OBJECTIVE: To investigate risk factors related to kidney injury in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) and to study the therapeutic effects of hemoperfusion (HP) on kidney injury in HSP children, providing clinical evidence for early prevention and treatment of HSP. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Children who suffered from HSP for the first time were selected as study objects and they were followed up for 12 months. Single factor analysis and multi-factor Logistic regression analysis were performed for children's demographic characteristics (age, gender), clinical manifestations (rash duration time, rash recurrence times, digestive tract hemorrhage, abdominal pain, arthralgia, HSP recurrence) and laboratory indexes (peripheral blood WBC, PLT, ESR, CRP, serum IgG, serum IgA, IgM, serum C3, serum C4, TC, TG, HDL, LDL). Meanwhile, participants were divided into treatment group (HP treatment) and control group, and the protective effects of HP on renal function of HSP children were discussed. RESULTS: Single factor analysis indicated age ≥ 6 years, rash recurrence ≥ 3 times, rash duration time ≥ 1 month, digestive tract hemorrhage, peripheral blood PLT, WBC, serum TC and serum LDL levels had statistically significant differences between the two groups. Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated rash recurrence ≥ 3 times, digestive tract hemorrhage, decline of peripheral blood PLT count, and increases of serum TC and LDL were closely related to kidney injury of HSP children. After discharge, kidney injury comparison between treatment group and control group in follow-up had a statistical difference. CONCLUSIONS: Rash recurrence ≥ 3 times, digestive tract hemorrhage, decline in peripheral blood PLT count, increases of serum TC and LDL, are risk factors of kidney injury in HSP children. HP can protect renal function of HSP children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
