First-line treatment of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (IgA vasculitis)

Henoch-Schönlein purpura — also termed IgA vasculitis (IgAV) — is the clinical focus of this first-line protocol. The management approach is structured around early, targeted supportive intervention aimed at achieving full resolution of symptoms.

The primary target is resolution of IgAV symptoms within 6 weeks through a supportive, structured management plan.

First-line management is supportive and includes measures to maintain adequate fluid balance alongside prompt attention to any identified contributing exposures. The complete sequenced regimen — including all specific steps, thresholds, and clinical decision points — is available in the full protocol.

Full regimen details are available via the link below.

Adequate hydration and immediate discontinuance of any exposure to antigenic stimulants (e.g., drugs) are important cornerstone in management.

IgAV is usually self-limiting and resolves over a period of 6 weeks and management is generally supportive.
