Urticaria vasculitis and common urticaria

The treatments for urticaria vasculitis and common urticaria are different. The former requires treatment for vasculitis, while the latter focuses on relieving symptoms. Urticaria vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels caused by an abnormal immune system, which manifests as skin erythema and swelling, often accompanied by pain and burning sensation; common urticaria is an allergic reaction, with the main symptoms of wheals and itching, which usually lasts for a short time.

1Causes and treatment of urticaria vasculitis

The cause of urticaria vasculitis is complex and may be related to immune system abnormalities, infection, drug reactions or autoimmune diseases. Its treatment needs to be targeted at the primary disease, including the use of anti-inflammatory drugs such as glucocorticoids prednisone, dexamethasone or immunosuppressants cyclophosphamide and azathioprine to control inflammatory responses. For patients with more severe conditions, biological agents such as rituximab may be required. In addition, patients need regular follow-up examinations to monitor the progression of the disease and avoid inducing factors such as infection or drug use.

2 Causes and treatment of common urticaria

Common urticaria is mostly caused by allergens, such as seafood, nuts, penicillin, aspirin, pollen or insect bites. Treatment is mainly based on antihistamines, such as cetirizine, loratadine or fexofenadine, which can effectively relieve itching and wheals. For patients with chronic urticaria, long-term use of antihistamines or combined use of the leukotriene receptor antagonist montelukast can be considered. Known allergens should be avoided in daily diet, the skin should be kept clean, and excessive scratching should be avoided to prevent secondary infection.

3 Prevention and management recommendations

Prevention and management are crucial for both urticaria vasculitis and common urticaria. Patients should try to avoid known triggers, such as allergens, sources of infection, or medications. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a regular schedule, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise, can help enhance immunity and reduce recurrence of the disease. For patients with chronic or recurrent episodes, it is recommended to see a doctor regularly and adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner to avoid worsening of the disease.

Although symptoms of urticaria vasculitis and common urticaria are similar, there are significant differences in etiology and treatment. A clear diagnosis and targeted treatment are the key to improving prognosis. Patients should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment and pay attention to daily care to control the disease and improve the quality of life.
