How Can Severe Urticaria Be Treated?
hi, Have been suffering from chronic spontaneous urcitaria for several months now and am on cholestrol and thyroid medications also. As part of the tests recommended, the below readings are showing out of range: Absolute basophil count 0 (lab ref. range 20-100 /c.mm) MPV (Mean Platelet volume) 9.6 (lab ref. range 6-9.5 fL) PDW (Platelet distribution Width) 17.9 (lab ref. range 9-17%) Cholestrol total 202 (ref. range Non HDL 135 (ref range LDL 119.6 (ref. range Lipoprotein (a) 54.40 (ref range 0-30) Pls guide me if there is any corelation between the urcitaria and the above anomalies in my report and also if the readings are a cause of concern.

There is no correlation between you test results and urticaria. Urticaria caused due to release of histamine which is caused by eosinophils. You should check eosinophil count, absolute eosinophil count, serum IgE levels. All of these test correlate with urticaria.
