Predicting stomach pain in children with IgA vasculitis
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at a blood test done when a child is first diagnosed with IgA vasculitis (also called Henoch-Schönlein purpura) to see if it can predict stomach or intestine problems. It involves one extra blood draw at diagnosis and a follow-up visit a few weeks later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with IgA vasculitis by a doctor.
- Your child is between 2 and 18 years old.
- A blood sample can be taken at the time of diagnosis.
- You can bring your child back for a check-up 2–4 weeks after diagnosis.
- A parent or guardian must agree to the study and sign a consent form.

This study uses a skin biopsy to look at “gene signals” (transcriptomics) in patients with active vasculitis that shows up on the skin. It may help researchers understand what is happening in your disease and how different types of vasculitis differ.
This study looks at treatment strategies for children with IgA vasculitis (also called Henoch-Schönlein purpura) when it mainly affects the stomach and intestines and symptoms do not improve with standard steroid dosing. It may help find better ways to control the illness early and prevent serious complications.
This study looks for blood test markers that may help diagnose vasculitis and predict how it may go. You may be offered additional blood sampling if you have certain active vasculitis conditions.
This study looks at how serious illness affects the gut in people who are in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand and monitor gut injuries and how well the gut works during critical illness.
This trial looks at how bacteria in the gut (microbiome) and substances in the body (metabonomics) relate to IgA nephropathy, a kidney condition. The goal is to understand patterns that may help explain the disease and improve future care.
This study uses a detailed DNA test to look for possible genetic causes of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) in children and adults. It may help researchers better understand why vasculitis happens, especially in families.
