Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the correlation of inflammatory markers with clinical and laboratory findings and the severity of chronic urticaria patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 30 CU patients examined at the Department of Allergy, Immunology, and Dermatology, E Hospital about the relationship of D-dimer, CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation, and ferritin with clinical characteristics. Results: The study subjects had an average age of 37.67 ± 16.41 years, 70% were women with an average disease duration of 27.07 months, of which the shortest was 2 months and the longest was 2 years. In particular, We found that D-dimer concentration increased in CU patients and correlated with disease severity but not in CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation, and ferritin. Conclusion: D-dimer is a valuable inflammatory marker in assessing severity and predicting positive results when performing autologous serum tests.
