VPPRN Patient-Powered Research

Urticarial Vasculitis

Every 6 months, we ask our VPPRN community to check-in and tell us how they are doing.  The graphs below reflect the scores/ratings of patients with urticarial vasculitis compared to the Network as a whole.  Here is what we learned about flaresfatiguepainsymptoms of vasculitis, and members’ current state of vasculitis at the January 2024 check-in:

    • Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with urticarial vasculitis reported the following:
      • more flares
      • similar scores for fatigue
      • similar scores for their symptoms of vasculitis over the past 28 days
      • similar scores for pain
      • a larger percentage of patients with urticarial vasculitis reported their vasculitis as active.
