BACKGROUND: Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a vasculitic syndrome with palpable purpura and renal involvement. The treatment for HSP with persistent renal disease remains controversial. The kidney biopsy in HSP shows IgA deposits and fish-oil therapy has proven to be promising in halting the progression of IgA nephropathy.
METHODS: Five children with biopsy-proven HSP with repeated episodes of haematuria and proteinuria were treated with fish oil (1 g orally twice daily). In three of the five patients an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) was added for hypertension.
RESULTS: The mean duration of follow up after starting fish-oil therapy was 49.2 weeks. The protein excretion rate prior to starting fish oil was 1041 mg/day and on the last follow-up visit the rate had decreased to 104 mg/day (P <0.05). The average blood pressure (BP) prior to therapy was 135/82. On the last follow-up visit the average BP off ACEI had decreased to 100/54 (P <0.05). After a year of follow up serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rates have remained stable at 51.2 micromol/L and 128 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively.
CONCLUSION: This is the first report of abatement of HSP with fish oil and ACEI in children. There is a need for randomized prospective trials to confirm this observation.
