Platelet Activation in Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases

• Conditions: Urticaria; Atopic Dermatitis
• Interventions: Procedure: Blood sampling

• Registration Number: NCT01759693
• Lead Sponsor: Meir Medical Center

Brief Summary

Platelets are blood cells that are important in coagulation of the blood. These cells have recently been shown to play a role in a number of other biologic processes, for example inflammation. In this study the investigators will determine the extent of platelet activation in people suffering from common chronic skin inflammation-urticaria and allergic dermatitis.
