Methods A retrospective study of medical records evaluated 37 outpatients with chronic urticaria (CU), which means persistent symptoms lasting more than 6 weeks. Patients of both genders and aged over 18 years were included. Patients were classified according to the chronic urticaria in spontaneous, physical or autoimmune (positive autologous skin test). They were evaluated for the presence of any thyroid dysfunction or presence of antithyroid autoantibodies. We also evaluated the time of urticaria and age at diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction.
