This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You are dealing with an immune system problem that affects the kidneys .

While homeopathy CAN help this condition it would require face to face treatment by a GOOD classical homeopath. Possibly one used to the use of miasmatic remedies.

A general info on this is-

HSP is a form of vasculitis that is mediated by antibodies of the subclass IgA1. These are found in the cutaneous lesions, as well as other inflammatory patches in the kidney (mesangium) and the intestine. IgA nephritis has many parallel symptoms, and is also often preceded by an infection, raising the suspicion that the nephritis may be a form of HSP limited to the kidney.

HSP can develop after infections with streptococci (Group A, â-haemolytic), hepatitis B, herpes simplex virus, parvovirus B19, Coxsackievirus, adenovirus and Helicobacter pylori. Certain medications have been reported to cause HSP as an idiosyncratic reaction.

In the 1990s, it was discovered that an abnormality of the IgA1 may be the causative factor of this disease. IgA1 and IgD differ from the other classes of antibody through an 18 amino acid-long hinge region between complement-fixating region 1 and 2. Of the amino acids, half is proline, while the other ones are mainly serine and threonine. The majority of the serines and the threonines have elaborate sugar chains, connected through oxygen atoms (O-glycosylation). This process is thought to stabilise the IgA molecule and make it less prone to proteolysis. The first sugar is always N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc), followed by other galactoses and sialic acid.

In HSP and IgA nephritis, it appears that these sugar chains are deficient. The cause for this abnormalty is thought to be viral neuraminidase, which removes sialic acid. This abnormality leads to polymerisation of IgA1, mainly in the renal mesangium. While the local mechanism that leads to the vasculitis is not completely understood, recent findings seem to confirm this theory.
