From Diagnosis to Treatment: Understanding Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU)
Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), previously referred to as chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU), can have a significant negative impact on daily activities and quality of life. Studies show that despite treatment guidelines, many patients are undertreated and fail to be escalated to the next appropriate step in therapy when their CSU symptoms are inadequately controlled with their current medication.
