Serum levels of leptin, adiponectin and vitamin D in Colombian adults with chronic urticaria

chronic urticaria (CU) is a complex disorder associated with a chronic systemic inflammation. This inflammation could be related with the release of adipokines with proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin D (VitD) deficiency has been associated with CU. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between serum levels of VitD, leptin, and adiponectin with CU in Colombian Caribbean adults.
