In recent, the simillarity in immunopathology between IgA nephropathy and Henoch-Schönleir purpura nephritis (HSP nephritis) has been in discussion. The auther carried out this study to clarify some differences in two diseases from clinicopathological viewpoint.
From June,1980 to September,1983,175 renal biopsies were pe rformed in children, and 2z cases of IgA nephropathy and 20 cases of HSP nephritis were brought to examinations undo light microscopy (LM), immunofluolescence microscopy (IF) and electron microscopy (EM). Also among on some cases were observed by immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) Sequentia biopsies were also performed in 7 cases of IgA nephropathy and 5 cases of HSP nephritis ir order to know whether any differences do appear in the course of these diseases.
The following results were obtained.
