['Hoyr hesa síðuna']

Hvussu verður urtikaria staðfest?

Urtikaria, eisini kent sum búkilska, er ein húðtrupulleiki, sum hevur við sær, at reyð, kløðandi og hovin sár koma á húðina.

Tað kann standast av ymiskum, eitt nú ovurviðkvæmi, infektiónum og ávísum heilivági.

Til at staðfesta, um ein hevur urtikaria, krevst at sjúklingurin hevur eina sjúkueyðkenni, at hann verður kannaður og viðhvørt eisini at hann fær kannað seg í royndarstovu.

1. Sjúkueyðkenni: Læknin spyr um sjúkueyðkenni, eitt nú um ein hevur havt nakrar kendar allergiir, hevur verið sjúkur fyri stuttum og hevur tikið heilivág.

Tey spyrja eisini nær sjúkueyðkennini byrjaðu, hvussu leingi tey vara og hvat kann hava elvt til tey.

2. Læknakanning: Læknin kannar húðina fyri at vita, um tað eru sár, hvussu stór tey eru og hvar tey eru.

Eisini kann tað vera, at tú hevur onnur tekin um ovurviðkvæmi, til dømis at andlitið, varrarnar ella tungan hovna.

3. Laboratoriukanningar: Í summum førum kann læknin geva boð um blóðroyndir fyri at kanna, um tú hevur ovurviðkvæmi ella hevur fingið smittuna.

Húðroyndir, sum ein húðprikroynd ella plásturroynd, kunnu eisini verða gjørdar fyri at staðfesta ávísar allergenir.

4. Allergi kanningar: Um læknin hevur illgruna um eina allergiska reaktión, kann hann vísa sjúklinginum til ein allergolog fyri at fáa kannað hann nærri.

Hetta kann vera prikroyndir, plásturroyndir ella blóðroyndir fyri at finna ávísar allergielvandi evni.

5. At gera eina diagnosu: Læknin skal eisini kanna aðrar møguligar orsøkir til sjúkueyðkennini, til dømis aðrar húðtrupulleikar ella sjúkueyðkenni, og kann geva boð um at gera fleiri kanningar fyri at útiloka hesar.

6. Provokatiónstestir: Tá ið talan er um fysiska nátasjúku, har búkurin verður útloystur av fysiskum stimbrandi evnum sum hita, kulda ella trýsti, kann læknin gera eina provokatiónstest fyri at staðfesta diagnosuna.

Hetta inniber, at tú leggur húðina í samband við tað, sum tú heldur kann elva til strongd, fyri at vita, um hon reagerar.

7. Autoimmunar kanningar: Tá ið talan er um kroniska nátasjúku, kann læknin viðgera sjúkuna fyri at kanna, um talan er um autoimmunar sjúkur, tí tað kann onkuntíð vera hesar, sum eru orsøkin.

8. Myndatøku: Í heilt fáum førum kann tað verða neyðugt at taka røntgen ella CT-skanning fyri at kanna, um onnur sjúkueyðkenni eru, sum kunnu elva til líknandi sjúkueyðkenni.

Í høvuðsheitum snýr tað seg um at staðfesta, um ein hevur urtikaria, við at kanna sjúkugongdina, kropsliga kanning og viðhvørt eisini við at gera kanningar á kanningarstovum.

Endamálið er at finna fram til orsøkina og finna fram til, hvat er besta viðgerðin fyri sjúklingin.

How is urticaria diagnosed?

Urticaria, also known as hives, is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of red, itchy, and swollen welts on the skin.

It can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergic reactions, infections, and certain medications.

Diagnosing urticaria involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and sometimes laboratory tests.

1. Medical history: The doctor will ask about the patient's medical history, including any known allergies, recent illnesses, and medications taken.

They will also inquire about the onset of symptoms, their duration, and any potential triggers.

2. Physical examination: The doctor will examine the skin for the presence of welts, their size, and distribution.

They may also check for other signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, lips, or tongue.

3. Laboratory tests: In some cases, the doctor may order blood tests to check for the presence of allergies or infections.

Skin tests, such as a skin prick test or patch test, may also be performed to identify specific allergens.

4. Allergy tests: If the doctor suspects an allergic reaction, they may refer the patient to an allergist for further testing.

This may include skin prick tests, patch tests, or blood tests to identify specific allergens.

5. Differential diagnosis: The doctor will also consider other possible causes of the symptoms, such as other skin conditions or underlying medical conditions, and may order additional tests to rule these out.

6. Provocation tests: In cases of physical urticaria, where the hives are triggered by physical stimuli such as heat, cold, or pressure, the doctor may perform a provocation test to confirm the diagnosis.

This involves exposing the skin to the suspected trigger to see if a reaction occurs.

7. Autoimmune tests: In cases of chronic urticaria, the doctor may order tests to check for autoimmune disorders, as these can sometimes cause the condition.

8. Imaging tests: In rare cases, imaging tests such as an X-ray or CT scan may be ordered to rule out other conditions that may cause similar symptoms.

Overall, diagnosing urticaria involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and sometimes laboratory tests.

The goal is to identify the underlying cause and determine the best course of treatment for the patient.
