Hyperthyroidism and polycythemia vera with chronic urticaria and angioedema.
Of 154 patients with chronic urticaria, six manifested concomitant hyperthyroidism and four polycythemia vera. Investigations of serum IgE, immune complex quantitation, complement and skin biopsies failed to elucidate a causal relationship. Polycythemia vera and hyperthyroidism should be considered as possible associations in the evaluation of chronic urticaria.
