Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis is a systemic disease, usually caused by kidney damage secondary to Henoch-Schönlein purpura. In terms of diet, patients should mainly consume light and easily digestible foods. Daily salt intake should also be controlled to prevent edema or hypertension. Patients should avoid eating allergenic foods such as seafood, fish, and crab. Those who are allergic to peanuts or milk should also avoid these foods to prevent adverse effects on their condition.
