Treatment
Treatments - Procedures Plasma exchange or plasmapheresis This treatment is sometimes used in patients with severe vasculitis where antibodies in the blood are thought to be important in causing the disease. [vasculitis.org.uk]
On the sixth day of treatment, due to the moderate increase of transaminases and widespread development of oesophagial candidiasis, the steroid treatment was terminated and mycostatin suspension was included in the treatment. [academic.oup.com]

Prognosis
Although HUV is uncommon in childhood, the prognosis is worse for those affected at younger ages because of more frequent, severe renal involvement. [3] The prognosis can also be influenced by other underlying disorders that HUV is associated with. [5 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Urticarial vasculitis carries a good prognosis, with most occurrences resolving in months to years. [emedicine.medscape.com]
