Urticaria is a well-known disease entity; however, with an increasing understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis, there is also growing evidence for a heterogeneity of urticaria. Currently it is sometimes difficult to compare divergent data reported by different centers researching urticaria due to a lack of precisely described patient populations. A consensus definition and classification of the disease and its subtypes, taking into account new developments, are therefore needed. In addition, this consensus report provides a guideline for diagnostic procedures in different subtypes of urticaria.
荨麻疹是一种广为人知的疾病实体；然而，随着对其发病机制中涉及的分子机制的认识不断加深，越来越多的证据表明荨麻疹具有异质性。目前，由于缺乏对患者群体的精确描述，不同研究荨麻疹的中心所报告的不同数据有时难以进行比较。因此，需要一个考虑到新进展的该疾病及其亚型的共识定义和分类。此外，本共识报告为不同亚型荨麻疹的诊断程序提供了指导方针。
