Dr. Zhao Xinju
The treatment for Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis typically involves medication and surgery. For mild cases without severe kidney function deterioration, medications such as glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants may be taken according to medical advice. If renal failure occurs, surgical treatments such as kidney transplantation or plasma exchange are required to slow the progression of the disease.
