A member asked:
If healthy 25 yr old sudden developed cold urticaria how likely would it be that it's associated with an underlying autoimmune disease or other issue?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Somewhat Likely!: The sudden development of cold urticaria suggests the presence of abnormal antibodies. This could be associated with an immune dysfunction. If someone is already diagnosed with an immune disorder, it is very likely that there is an association.

None: Cold urticarial is not associated to any extent with autoimmune diseases.
