hi
HSP is henoch scholein purpura.In this disease there is inlammation 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 to do 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
I hope my opinion will benifit your son.
I wish him good health!!!
thanks
