Özet: Background: To evaluate the demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) and compare the risk of renal involvement Materials and Methods: The files of the patients who were diagnosed as HSP in the pediatric nephrology-rheumatology clinic of our hospital between January 2015 and January 2017 and followed for at least 1 year were reviewed. Demographic data, history, age at diagnosis, physical examination, laboratory tests, organ involvement, renal biopsies, all treatment regimens and follow-up were evaluated. Results: There were 118 patients 57 male (48.3%), 61 female (51.7%) in a 2-year period. The mean age of the patients was 7.9 ± 2.81 and the female: male ratio was 1: 0.93. While there were 98 patients (83.1%) under 10 years of age, the number of patients over 10 years of age was 20 (16.9%). There was no significant relationship between age, sex, recurrence of disease, location and duration of joint involvement, location and duration of rash, gastrointestinal involvement, testicular involvement, laboratory parameters and renal involvement. Conclusion: When we retrospectively evaluated the patients, who were followed up with the diagnosis of HSP over a two-year period, we did not find any significant factor in the risk factors for renal involvement. In fact, this suggests that all HSP patients should be carefully monitored for renal involvement.
