  • Title: [Hypertension in the absence of renal involvement during childhood Henoch-Schönlein purpura].
    Author: Darteyre S, Ludwig C, Lalande M, Rodière M, Guillaumont S, Morin D.
    Journal: Arch Pediatr; 2008 Jul; 15(7):1193-6. PubMed ID: 18508249.
    Abstract:
    Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is an IgA mediated vasculitis that affects small vessels. In this condition, arterial hypertension is most often linked with renal involvement, but it can also occur in the absence of urinary abnormalities. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with HSP and hypertension in the absence of renal involvement. Hypertension responded to oral therapy with nicardipine, and disappeared after healing of the disease. In the case of hypertension during HSP in the absence of renal involvement, other causes of childhood's arterial hypertension have to be ruled out.
