Hypocomplementemic Vasculitis
Urticarial Vasculitis
Presentation
- His disease resembled the hypocomplementemic vasculitis syndrome but was atypical in its early age of presentation, severe hypocomplementemia, and progression to end-stage renal disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- C1q-p activity also was observed in and purified from SLE serum; this activity was distinguishable from 7S immune complex activity detected by Raji cells which was also present in SLE serum.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Renal disease, when present, is usually mild to moderate, and obstructive lung disease, which may be severe, occurs in some patients.[mitchmedical.us]
- […] rheovirus-III infection, presents with interstitial keratitis and hearing loss. 3) Schnitzler syndrome – presents with urticaria and monoclonal IgM gammopathy along with lymphadenopathy, arthralgia and fever, 4) AHA-syndrome – poorly understood entity[omicsonline.org]

Treatment
- 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]
- 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]
- Treatment depends upon the severity of the disease[patient.info]
- COPD and cardiac valvular defects may require specific treatment.[secure.ssa.gov]
- Treatment is based on the systemic effects of the disease and the extent of cutaneous involvement. Antihistamines or non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs ) may be used to relieve symptoms.[dermnetnz.org]
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]
- For information on plasma exchange: Plasma exchange or plasmapheresis Prognosis The overall prognosis in Urticarial Vasculitis depends on the severity of the disease and the amount of damage that has been done to organs, especially the lungs.[vasculitis.org.uk]

- ICD-9: 279.4 PROGRESSION The prognosis of HUVS depends on the organ system involved. Lung disease results in significant morbidity and mortality, and is made worse by smoking.[secure.ssa.gov]
Etiology
- .): 31628 Abstract Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome is an immune complex-mediated disease of unknown etiology. Theclinical course is characterized by urticaria, conjunctivitis, jointpain, and hypocomplementemia.[platform.almanhal.com]

- Although it is a chronic and recurrent process and long-term prognosis is good, it is important to differentiate urticarial vasculitis from common urticaria as search for possible underlying etiologic factors may have prognostic implications. 1.[ijdvl.com]
