IgA vasculitis, formerly known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, is a complex immune-mediated vasculitis characterized by the involvement of small blood vessels in various organ systems. IgA vasculitis primarily affects the small vessels of the joints, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and, in rare instances, the central nervous system and lungs. As a result, patients often present with a diverse range of clinical manifestations, including gastrointestinal complaints, palpable purpura, arthralgias, and renal involvement. This activity explores the immunological basis of IgA vasculitis, including the role of IgA immune complexes in small vessel inflammation; the clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria; assessment and monitoring recommendations; treatment strategies; and the crucial role of the interprofessional team in improving the care and outcomes of patients with this condition.
