Abstract

Authors' conclusions: nowadays there is no evidence to use drug therapies in preventing or treating renal disease in Henoch-Schönlein purpura (SHP).

Reviewers´ commentary: there is no evidence to prescribe corticoids at the beginning of SHP in preventing persistent renal disease, neither to treat severe nephritis with inmunossupresors. Results about the use of steroids contradict the conclusions of a previous systematic review, based on poor quality trials
