What Causes Chronic Hives?

I have been breaking out in chronic hives for about 3 months. I have been tested for environmental allergies but no food ones. One episode this weekend was particularly bad and landed me in the ER. I am a 28 year old female. I read that chronic hives is an inidicator of liver or kidney disease. Is this likely in my case?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that most of the hives are does not have the specific reason behind that and called the idiopathic and but this can be treated with great success with the anti-histamine and some time steroid and the option would be Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day and, Tab Dexamethasone if required, have a nice day.
