Adult-onset Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) and primary IgA (IgAN) nephropathy have been considered indistinguishable immunohistopathologically and are often considered as two extremes of one disease entity. We postulate that adult-onset Henoch-Schönlein can be distinguished histologically from primary IgAN and that both diseases differ in their immunopathological mechanisms.
