Systemic inflammatory response and calcification markers in patients with long lasting moderate-severe chronic spontaneous urticaria

Abstract

The results confirm that CSU is accompanied by a low grade systemic inflammatory state. However, the long lasting urticarial inflammation was not paralleled by an increased circulating level of the calcification marker matrix Gla protein.
