Abstract

In this study; Platelet markers and C-reactive protein levels were measured in patients with acute and chronic urticaria. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of platelets in the pathogenesis of urticaria. The study included 34 acute urticaria patients, 27 chronic urticaria patients and 30 healthy volunteers between the ages of 18-76. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic data. MPV and PDW values of platelet markers were not significantly different between acute urticaria and chronic urticaria group (p<0.001). CRP values were significantly lower in the control group (p:0.008). In order to better understand the role of platelets in the pathogenesis of urticaria, large series of patients are needed.
