Tehran University of Medical Sciences Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology 1735-1502 13 6 2014 12 15 456 458 EN Hamid Nasri Department of Nephrology, Division of Nephropathology, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan 2015 10 16 Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis and IgA nephropathy are currently considered to be different clinical presentations of the same disease. There is need for a reliable proven, morphologic classification that can help clinicians more accurately formulate treatment strategies for patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis. Considering that Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis and IgA nephropathy have common characteristics of pathogenesis and histopathologic findings, we postulate that, the Oxford classification could also help predict long-term outcomes in Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis. Hence, we suggest to applicate the Oxford classification for patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis. https://ijaai.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijaai/article/view/419 https://ijaai.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijaai/article/download/419/418
