title: Urologic manifestations of Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
abstract: Henoch-Schönlein purpura involves the kidneys in about 50 per cent of cases. In adults the classic signs are usually absent. Open renal biopsy is valuable from a prognostic standpoint since the severity of the renal lesion can be correlated with the future clinical course.
