0.05).In patients with HSPN capillary wall staining for IgA was more frequently found than in IgAN(71.0% vs 43.5%,P=0.013).With creatinine level doubling as the end point,the follow-up data indicated that the renal survival was 87.1% in HSPN and 91.9% in IgAN and there was no statistically significant difference between HSPN and IgAN(P=0.481).Conclusion:Although significant pathological difference was found between HSPN and IgAN,the renal clinical manifestations and long term outcome were similar between the two diseases in adults.
