Circulating concentration of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in women suffering from chronic idiopathic urticaria in relation to their pre- or post-menopausal status

The observations made recently and those of our previous results may point to the existence of two different hormonal patterns of DHEA-S circulating concentration in female patients suffering from CIU, depending on age of the disease onset. The scope of the study has been limited however, due to the small number of subjects.
