Purpura

The inflammation of the blood vessels due to different conditions is known as Purpura. This disease affects the capillaries or the small blood vessels of the body and finally affects the kidney. This generally results in joint inflammation, skin rash especially in the buttocks and cramping abdominal pain in severe cases. This starts off with the infection in the throat or the breathing passages. This may lead to severe kidney diseases like nephritis. The inflammation or the joint pain can be treated with anti-inflammatory medicine and in case of severe kidney problem medicines like Cytoxan, Imuran and Cellcept are used for suppressing the immune system. Infection needs antibiotics if at all present.
