Popis: This study correlates the clinical presentation of Henoch–Schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) with findings on initial renal biopsy. Data from 202 pediatric patients enrolled in the HSPN registry of the German Society of Pediatric Nephrology reported by 26 centers between 2008 and 2014 were analyzed. All biopsy reports were re-evaluated for the presence of cellular crescents or chronic pathological lesions (fibrous crescents, glomerular sclerosis, tubular atrophy >5%, and interstitial fibrosis >5%). Patients with HSPN with cellular glomerular crescents were biopsied earlier after onset of nephritis (median 24 vs 36 days, p = 0.04) than those without, whereas patients with chronic lesions were biopsied later (57 vs 19 days, p < 0.001) and were older (10.3 vs 8.6 years, p = 0.01) than those without. Patients biopsied more than 30 days after the onset of HSPN had significantly more chronic lesions (52 vs 22%, p < 0.001), lower eGFR (88 vs 102 ml/min/1.73m2, p = 0.01), but lower proteinuria (2.3 vs 4.5 g/g, p
