Urticarial vasculitis presents as hives but shows vasculitis on biopsy. This immune complex disorder can affect multiple organ systems and is often idiopathic or linked to autoimmune conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Urticarial vasculitis (UV) is a distinct dermatologic condition.
  • Cutaneous lesions resemble urticaria but histopathology reveals vasculitis.
  • UV incidence in patients with urticarial symptoms ranges from 2% to 20%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of urticarial vasculitis.
  • To cover its background, histopathology, clinical presentation, and systemic involvement.
  • To discuss pathogenesis, etiology, associated conditions, and management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of urticarial vasculitis.
  • Analysis of clinical and histological features.
  • Examination of systemic manifestations and associated diseases.

Main Results:

  • UV diagnosis is suggested by persistent, symptomatic weals (>24 hours) and bruising.
  • Extracutaneous involvement can affect musculoskeletal, respiratory, renal, and gastrointestinal systems.
  • UV is often idiopathic but associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, and serum sickness.

Conclusions:

  • Urticarial vasculitis is likely an immune complex-mediated process.
  • The condition requires thorough investigation due to potential systemic impact.
  • Understanding UV's multifaceted nature is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment.
