Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Chronic urticaria (CU) is a prevalent skin condition characterized by recurrent hives and associated pruritus. Recent studies suggest a potential link between chronic urticaria and autoimmune conditions, particularly autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). This paper investigates the prevalence of AIT in patients diagnosed with chronic urticaria, explores the underlying mechanisms connecting these conditions, and discusses the implications for clinical practice.
