hi HSP is Enoch scholar purpura. In this disease there is inflammation in kidney and skin leading to loss of protein and red blood cells in urine. This is a self limiting disease in most patients within 3-4months. In case of your son since the disease is already running for 6 months, in my opinion we should review the diagnosis. If I was your sons treating doctor I will consider doing ANA,C3 and C4 blood tests and also will consider kidney biopsy for definitive diagnosis. I will advise you to see a nephrologist and discuss these issues hope my opinion will benefit your son. I wish him good health!!!thanks Chat Doctor.
