Henoch–Schönlein purpura

Despite recent progress, our understanding of the genetic susceptibility, pathogenesis and treatment of Henoch-Schönlein purpura remains incomplete. Further research is necessary in order to clearly define the genetic susceptibility and the pathogenesis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura. Multicenter clinical trials are needed to determine the most effective treatment of Henoch-Schönlein purpura, particularly for patients with severe nephritis.
