Q: Question: Is hashimoto 's disease a frequent comorbidity and an exacerbating factor of chronic spontaneous urticaria?
Answer: The comorbidity rate of HD in CSU patients was high, and such patients tended to have a positive ASST. Thyroid therapy in CSU patients with HD can lead to a considerable remission of urticarial symptoms, which may suggest that HD is possibly involved in the aetiology of CSU, or is at least a potential exacerbating factor for CSU.
A:
yes
