Assessment of Serum Levels of Adenosine Deaminase and Immunoglobulin E in Patients With Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
adenosine deaminase activity (ADA) has been reported to be elevated in various diseases such as psoriasis, acne and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. There is no previous studies that assessed ADA in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) .

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
CSU group Adult patients complaining of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) |
Diagnostic Test: Adenosine deaminase serum level
Adenosine deaminase will be measured by enzymatic (clorometric / kinetic) method (Diazyme laboratories, San Diego, California, USA).
Diagnostic Test: IgE antibodies serum level
Level of IgE will be measured by electrochemiluminesence immunoassay (ECLIA, automatic cobase immunoassay, Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, USA).

Control group A group of age and sex-matched healthy controls (blood donors). |
