This determines a possible contribution to the increase in capillary permeability. These patients generally have elevated serum coagulation and fibrinolysis markers, such as the prothrombin fragment<span class="elsevierStyleInf">1+2</span> and D-dimer, whose levels appear to be correlated with the severity of CU.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> In animal models, thrombin increases capillary permeability by direct action on the endothelium and also indirectly, inducing the release of pro-inflammatory mediators by mast cells, which leads to an increase in C5a in the absence of C3 without activation of the first part of the complement cascade.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2–4</span></a> It is possible that autoantibodies and the coagulation cascade act in synergy in some patients with chronic urticaria.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A systematic review conducted by Rabelo-Filardi et al. involving 34 published studies on spontaneous CU (CSU) concluded that the clinical severity of CU can predict the duration of the disease and that laboratory parameters, such as the elevation of serum levels of prothrombin fragments<span class="elsevierStyleInf">1+2</span>, D-dimer, and C-reactive protein (CRP), can also convey the severity of the disease and its resistance to conventional treatment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Patients with more severe symptoms may have more persistent illnesses.

For example, inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and GM-CSF induce tissue factor (TF) expression in eosinophils, while the factor VII + FT activated complex binds to protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) and regulates the inflammatory response.

Plasma levels of D-dimer, a marker for the formation of fibrin and its subsequent degradation, have been proposed as a biomarker of activity and severity in CSU.

However, the literature review is composed of different studies that applied different methods (case series, non-blinded studies, case reports), making it difficult to reach a final conclusion on this issue, especially with regard to the real usefulness of these complementary exams to predict the severity of the CSU in different patient cohorts.</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In 2007, Asero et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> published one of the first studies that evaluated 37 patients with chronic urticaria with a measurement of prothrombin fragments<span class="elsevierStyleInf">1+2</span>, D-dimer, factor XIIa, and factor VIIa.

This fact can be justified by some limitations in the present study: less ethnically diverse population when compared with Asia and Europe; the small number of patients included in this analysis, as this is a specialized urticaria center; and the short period of analysis (three years).</p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">With regard to ethnic aspects, in Brazil there is frequent racial mixing, in contrast to other countries in Latin America.

This fact was also observed in patients with CSU in the present study. CSU remission may be related to antihistamine treatment and/or adjuvant medications; however, spontaneous remissions occur in 30%–50% of patients within one year of disease progression and another 20% within five years.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> Approximately 20% of patients with CSU maintain disease activity even after five years of evolution.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> Several studies have shown that patients with more severe symptoms may have a more persistent course of the disease.
