title: [Long-term evaluation of kidney function in Schoenlein-Henoch syndrome].
abstract: The Authors studied 104 children (58 males and 46 female) with Schoenlein-Henoch syndrome, admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Ospedale Civile di Pescara, in the period 1961-1985. Clinical and laboratory aspects were evaluated. Fifty-one subjects (25 males and 26 females) were re-evaluated, after a period of 17.0 +/- 4.2 years after first hospital admission: in particular, the mean blood laboratory parameters and renal function were assessed. None of these 51 subjects showed important abnormalities, especially evidence of renal impairment. This study suggests that the Schoenlein-Henoch syndrome can have a good long-term prognosis, without important renal abnormalities.
