A case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura temporarily improved by hemodialysis.

We report a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura that occurred in an adult patient with end-stage renal disease on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and hemodialysis (HD). The patient's skin lesions clearly decreased in number during HD, but not during CAPD. This finding has not been previously reported.
