• To investigate the clinical characteristics of Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) patients from different altitudes in Tibet plateau areas of China. A retrospective study was used to analyze the 190 HSP patients admitted to Tibet Autonomous Region People ' s Hospital form April 2014 to May 2021. The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the altitude of long-term residence before onset and the clinical data at different altitudes were compared and analyzed. There were no significant differences in the age of onset and gender in HSP patients at different altitudes ( >0.05). The HSP patients in high altitude areas were more likely to have digestive symptoms ( < 0.01). The patients were more likely to have kidney or joint involvement at higher altitudes. The platelets [(512.1±55.0)×10 /L] and C reactive protein [11.2 (5.7, 19.4) g/L] in high altitude areas were significantly higher than at medium altitudes [(498.3±76.9)×10 /L and 9.5 (4.6, 13.5) g/L] and lower altitudes [(456.4±81.2)×10 /L and 3.7 (0.2, 8.
