    Introduction: pruritus is a frequent and agonizing symptom that accompanies several liver diseases, particularly the cholestatic ones. It can be mild and tolerable, but it can also dramatically reduce the quality of life. It is still a challenge to determine the intensity of this symptom in an objective manner, however it is extremely relevant in research purposes or clinical practice. Low-cost cholestasis markers already used in the medical routine to assess the liver and bile ducts - such as alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltransferase and bilirubins - could be associated with the severity of cholestatic pruritus. Objective: to analyze whether there is a correlation between laboratory levels of cholestasis and the clinical intensity of pruritus. Methods: sixty patients with chronic cholestasis from the gastroenterology clinic were consecutively allocated. To the participants were applied: the Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DLQI), the 5D Pruritus Scale (5-DPS) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The results of laboratory tests were analyzed, particularly the cholestasis parameters, according to the scores obtained in the referred scales. Results: among patients with cholestasis 2/3 had pruritus. The presence or intensity of the pruritus, assessed with the VAS and 5-DPS instruments, as well as the quality of life estimated by the DLQI questionnaire, were not related to laboratory markers of cholestasis. Conclusion: There was no association between serum levels of laboratory markers of cholestasis and the intensity of pruritus. There was also no relationship between the values of these tests and the impact on patients' quality of life.

    (Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia, 2009-10-01) Seize, Maria Bandeira de Melo Paiva [UNIFESP]; Ianhez, Mayra [UNIFESP]; Souza, Patrícia Karla de [UNIFESP]; Rotta, Osmar [UNIFESP]; Cestari, Silmara da Costa Pereira [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Aquagenic urticaria is a rare form of physical urticaria, characterized by pruritic wheals that appear following contact with water, independently of its temperature. There are few reports of cases of aquagenic urticaria, and only five include the familial form. We present the first case of familial aquagenic urticaria in Brazil (mother and daughter). Both patients presented wheals following contact with water, especially when showering, regardless of its temperature. The mother reported onset of urticaria four years before and the daughter presented wheals since birth. For diagnostic purposes, they were submitted to a challenge test with water, and both subjects presented wheals, as well as to tests using ice cubes in plastic bag with dermographometer and challenge tests for cholinergic urticaria, with no appearance of lesions, excluding other forms of physical urticaria.
