Evaluation of oxidative stress and erythrocyte properties in children with henoch-shoenlein purpura

ABSTRACT

Objective: Pathogenesis of Henoch-Schonlein purpura [HSP] is not clearly defined. The present study was conducted to investigate the alterations in erythrocyte deformability and oxidative stress in HSP and to examine the possible relationship between erythrocyte deformability and organ involvement in this disease
