(a) Levels of hsCRP in CSU patients and healthy controls.HsCRP levels were significantly higher in patients with CSU than in controls
(b) Levels of basophil count in CSU patients and healthy controls.Basophil count levels were significantly lower in patients with CSU than in controls
(c) Levels of MPV in CSU patients and healthy controls. MPV levels were significantly higher in patients with CSU than in controls

  1. Levels of hsCRP in patients with CSU divided into two different subsets according to the severity of the disease (mild/moderate and severe).Patients with severe CSU displayed significantly higher levels of hsCRP than patients with mild/moderate CSU
  2. Levels of basophil count in patients with CSU divided into two different subsets according to the severity of the disease (mild/moderate and severe). Patients with severe CSU displayed significantly lower levels of basophil count than patients with mild/moderate CSU
  3. Levels of MPV in patients with CSU divided into two different subsets according to the severity of the disease (mild/moderate and severe).Patients with severe CSU displayed significantly higher levels of MPV than patients with mild/moderate CSU
