My teenage age son was diagnosed with HSP in November 2017. The trigger was a cold with an ear infection. The rash spread around his legs and hands. The diagnosis was immediate and the hospital kept him in for three days. Thankfully the rash disappered within 5 weeks and he has not had another flair since then. We followed up with urine analysis on a weekly basis for 3 months and then monthly thereafter. Only on two occasions he showed traces of protein and that was within the first two months.He continous to show micro hematuria in his urine. He drinks plenty of water 3-4 liters a day since he plays basketball. He has cut down on the sugar and milk and eat mainly organic. Doctors say that we cannot do any treatments unless he shows protein. Does anybody have a simlar experience. How long does this take and should we insist on my son taking steriods?

Thank you so much for your reply. I wish your daughter recover very soon and get rid of this disease. Thankfully my son has not had another flare and the dermatologist who diagnosed him told us that he may see micro blood for at least a year. Unfortunately doctors don't say much. There concern was and remains that he does not leak protein. Thankfully there are no indications that he has . Linda you stated that your daughter follows a good diet. We have cut sugar, reduced but not eliminted salt intake - we use pure sea salt- and have significantly reduced cows milk. Any advise on diet? Thanks again.
