Clinical characteristics of pancreas damage in children with Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of pancreas damage in children with Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura (HSP).Methods The clinical data of 206 HSP patients was analyzed from February 2008 to July 2013.The serum and urine example was detected by the automatic biochemical analyzer and the clinical characteristics of them was analyzed.The pancreatic morphology of patients was observed by type-B ultrasonic,and the clinical feature of skin,joints,digestive tract and kidney damage were observed.The relationship between pancreas damage and other systems damage was analyzed.Results There was 58 cases suffering from pancreas damage in 206 HSP children31 cases were male,27 cases were female.There was no patients with pancreatic edema and deformation of structure in 58 patients.The incidence of pancreas damage with HSP combined with abdominalgia patients was 39.7％ (50/126),which was obviously higher than that in the patients without abdominalgia 10.0％ (8/80) (x2 =14.355,P ＜ 0.01).The incidence of pancreas damage in mixed type of HSP [31.8 ％ (55/173)] was significantly higher than that in simple type of HSP [9.1％ (3/33)] (x2 =18.292,P ＜ 0.01).The mean hospital stay of the HSP patients with pancreas damage was 6-38 (10.39± 6.80) d,while without pancreas damage was 4-18 (8.51 ± 3.42) d,and there was no significant difference (t =5.790,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The HSP children usually combine with pancreas damage.If they have abdominalgia and multi-system damage,they are more likely to be accompanied with pancreas damage,which should be paid more attention.
