The most common symptoms often include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rash (purpura).<\/strong>&nbsp;Reddish-purple spots that look like bruises. These bruises commonly develop in the ankles, feet, and buttocks. The rash may also appear on the trunk, face, and arms and can become worse in areas of pressure, such as the sock line and waistline where tight clothing or elastic bands are commonly worn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swollen, sore joints (arthritis).<\/strong>&nbsp;People with Henoch-Sch\u00f6nlein in purpura often have pain and swelling in the knees, ankles, and other joints. Joint pain sometimes happens before the tell-tale rash appears after a couple of weeks. These symptoms tend to lessen when the disease clears and leave no lasting damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digestive tract symptoms.<\/strong>&nbsp;A lot of children with HSP disorder develop stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloody stools. These symptoms occasionally happen before the rash appears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kidney involvement.<\/strong>&nbsp;HSP in adults may also affect the kidneys. In many cases, this shows up as protein or blood in the urine, which an individual may not even notice unless they have a urine test done. This usually subsides once the illness passes, but some people develop continuous kidney diseases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bruising easily<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feeling lightheaded or dizzy<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fatigue<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HSP Disorder Diagnosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no definitive test for HSP disorder. A doctor will usually make a diagnosis based on a person's symptoms and medical history. Some tests that may be used to help diagnose HSP purpura include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A blood test to check for certain antibodies that are associated with HSP purpura<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A urine test to look for blood or protein in the urine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An ultrasound to look for signs of inflammation or damage to the blood vessels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A chest X-ray to check for possible lung problems caused by HSP purpura<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If HSP purpura is suspected, it is important to see a doctor right away.
