Tubular Organ Disease (HSP)

The HSP Disease

Organ it affects: Tubular organs (blood vessel) 

Henoch schonlein purpura is a short-term disease that inflames the blood cells in your body, however in rare cases it can spread to the organs such as the kidney. 

This disease, on the body, appears as many red spots on the skin, in areas such as the buttocks, thighs, legs, and arms. 

Other symptoms include joint pain, vomiting/diarrhoea/nausea, and in rare cases, arthritis in the hand. This disease is most common in children under the age of 10, and is more likely to effect boys.

Above is what HSP appears to look like on the skin's surface. In the body, it is the inflammation of blood vessels (tubular organs) that is causing the red spots/blotches all over the skin. 

HSP is currently not curable, however it requires little to no treatment in common cases. The treatment simply includes minor symptom control. 

However, HSP can occasionally lead to cases of irreversible, incurable kidney diseases.
