Corticosteroids in childhood IgA vasculitis: can early therapy mask kidney involvement?

Paper No results yet Not peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a commentary asking whether giving steroids early in childhood IgA vasculitis can hide kidney damage. IgA vasculitis inflames small blood vessels and can injure the kidneys. The worry is that steroids quiet the visible signs while kidney trouble keeps building underneath. It is a discussion piece, so there are no results yet.
