Henoch Schönlein as a child (50 y ago) and limitations chemotreatments

Posted by jaapll @jaapll, 1 day ago

In 1975, person, 6 years old at that time, spent 4 weeks in hospital and was treated for Autoimmune disease known as Henoch Schönlein.
Recovered, no recurrence and no further medication.

Now undergoing chemotreatments and considering immune therapy.
Looking for any experiences in similar situation, as well as for a clear medical view on wheather this condition would be a contra indication for imune therapy

If you never had significant kidney involvement and have normal kidney function and urinalysis that would indicate that you should be
OK with no lasting ill effects. Make your oncologist aware of your concern
with the HSP history and they can research your question.
