Abstract :The immune inflammatory response has an important role in urticaria. In this study, we aimed to understand whether HALP score and systemic inflammatory response index (SII) role in predicting urticaria. This study, we evaluated medical records of 69 patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and 71 healthy controls. HALP score was calculated according to this formula HALP score = (hemoglobin (g/L) × albumin (g/L) × lymphocytes (/L))/platelets (/L). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), systemic inflammatory index (SII) index (neutrophil x platelet/lymphocyte count) were calculated. We demonstrated that NLR, PLR, SII levels were not statistically significant in patients with CSU compared to the heathy subjects (p>0.05). However, HALP score levels were statistically significant between the groups (p<0.05). HALP scoe is a newly designed index that are known as easily calculable and comprehensive indicator of treatment response precursors in patients with CSU.Keywords : Inflammation, biomarkers, hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocytes, blood platelets
