VPPRN Patient-Powered Research
IgA Vasculitis (Henoch-Schönlein)

The graphs below reflect the scores/ratings of patients with IgA vasculitis (Henoch-Schönlein) compared to the Network as a whole. Here is what we learned about flares, fatigue, pain, symptoms of vasculitis, and members’ current state of vasculitis at the July 2025 check-in:
- Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with IgA vasculitis reported the following:
