AQUAGENIC URTICARIA: ETIOLOGY, GENETICS, PATHOGENESIS, AND DIAGNOSTICS
Abstract
Background
Aquagenic urticaria (AU) is a rare form of inducible physical urticaria characterized by the development of pruritic wheals following contact with water, regardless of its temperature or source. Despite its paradoxical nature, the condition remains poorly understood, with limited data on its etiology, genetic basis, and underlying mechanisms.
