9 Potential Causes of Chronic Hives

Updated March 1, 2019

3. Physical Contact 身体接触

Rubbing, scratching, pressure, and constriction can all trigger hives in people with physical urticaria. Sun exposure can also trigger hives.

摩擦、抓挠、压力和收缩都会诱发荨麻疹。阳光暴晒也会引发荨麻疹。

4. Thyroid Disease甲状腺疾病

Autoimmune thyroid disease has been linked to some cases of chronic hives. Scientists are still researching the possible mechanism, and there are lots of theories under review. But if you have chronic hives with no other known cause, it might be worth asking your allergist or dermatologist about getting tested for thyroid disease. It’s possible you could have the elevated antithyroid antibodies associated with certain thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s disease.

自身免疫性甲状腺疾病与一些慢性荨麻疹有关。科学家们仍在研究可能的机制，有许多理论正在审查中。但是，如果你有慢性荨麻疹没有其他已知的原因， 你可能需要问你的过敏专科医生或皮肤科医生询问是都需要做甲状腺疾病检查。有可能抗甲状腺抗体升高与某些甲状腺疾病如桥本氏病有关。

5. Liver disease 肝脏疾病

Hepatitis B, which is a type of liver disease, has been associated with chronic urticaria. However, many people with hepatitis C also develop an acute form of hives, so researchers are looking at the possibility of a relationship between cases of hepatitis C and chronic hives, too.

乙型肝炎是一种肝病，与慢性荨麻疹有关。然而，许多丙型肝炎患者也会出现急性荨麻疹，因此研究人员也在研究丙型肝炎与慢性荨麻疹之间的关系。

6. Cancer 癌症

It’s definitely rare, but a few cases of cancer have been linked to chronic hives. And at least one large population-based study suggests people with chronic hives may be at increased risk for developing certain kinds of cancer, like cancer of the blood or lymph nodes. However, experts caution that more research is needed.

这绝对是罕见的，但有少数癌症病例与慢性荨麻疹有关。至少有一项基于人群的研究表明，患有慢性荨麻疹的人患某些癌症的风险可能会增加，比如血癌或淋巴结癌。不过，专家提醒说，还需要更多的研究。
