| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been reported that the pathogenesis of Henoch-Shoenlein purpura nephritis (HSPN）may be associated with the circulation of defective forms of IgA1 or the presence of in situ immune complexes, and the onset and progression of inflammation are thought to be associated with complement components, activated macrophage and mesangial cells. It is important to control HSPN activity including steroid and immunosuppressive drugs.
