Hyperbilirubinemia: The common denominator of Yellow Urticaria

Abstract

Rosso et al recently enlarged to ten the list of patients diagnosed with yellow urticaria (YU). These cases of YU remind clinicians that the skin, besides forming a biological barrier to protect internal organs and systems from the external environment, frequently reflects underlying internal diseases.

YU has been described secondary to infective hepatitis1, liver cirrhosis (regardless of the cause) ^{2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, acute liver failure⁷, and metastatic disease of the liver⁸.
