D-dimer levels decline after immunosuppressive treatment rather than anticoagulant treatment in severe autoimmune chronic spontaneous urticaria
EUROPEAN ANNALS OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY(2024)
摘要
Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common dermatological condition presenting with wheals and/or angioedema for more than 6 weeks. The role of autoimmunity and inflammation in the pathogenesis of CSU have been studied; but the precise mechanism remains unknown. Association with coagulation cascade has been suggested based on the observations of increased coagulation indicators such as serum D-dimer levels. We report an omalizumab refractory case of severe CSU with high D-dimer levels that declined only after disease remission with cyclosporine treatment but not with anticoagulation. Activation of coagulation cascade occurs secondary to the pro-inflammatory state in CSU patients and the correlation between D-dimer levels and disease activity may indicate the need for more studies to better understand the relationship of D-dimer levels and omalizumab resistance. Clinicians should consider this relationship in CSU patients with significant D-dimer levels before considering treatment with anticoagulants.
