Angioedema• Rapid nonpitting edema of the dermis,
subcutaneous tissue, mucosa and
submucosal tissues.
• Self-Limited, subcutaneous edema
resulting from increased vascular
permeability
o Dilation of venules and capillaries
o Limited to the superficial dermis • Generally resolves over 24-48 hours

Allergic Angioedema
• Most Common Type
• Classic histamine response
• Causes; Food, Drugs, Bee
Sting, venom, latex
• Urticaria Present
• Complement assays
normal
Urticaria

Ace Inhibitor Induced Angioedema
• Increased Bradykinin
• Airway edema is the most
common presentation
• Causes; nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) and intravenous
contrast material; aspirin is
the most common culprit.
• Complement assay normal
![Page 9: Angioedema](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b1b27d8b42adb338b49f4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bradykinin
• A mediator that functions to;
o Potent endothelium vasodilator
o Contraction of non-vascular
smooth muscle
o Increases vascular permeability
o Involved in mechanism of pain
![Page 10: Angioedema](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b1b27d8b42adb338b49f4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Chronic Idiopathic Angioedema
• The exact mechanisms are unclear. Some may
be associated with urticaria. Based on responses
to medication, some cases are mediated by
mast cell activation.
• Urticaria present.
• Laryngeal edema rare.
• Causes are, by definition, not identifiable.
• Complement assays normal.

Hereditary Angioedema• Rare (1:50 000-1:150 000)
• Autosomal Dominant
• Cause; chromosome 11 abnormality
• Disorder of C1INH (only regulator of classical
complement pathway activation)
o Type 1 (85%) low levels of C1INH and
functional deficiency
o Type 2 (15%) Normal protein
concentration but functional defect

Acquired Angioedema• Most similar in mechanism to HAE
• No Family History
• Causes; Deficiency of C1-INH due to
o Type I: Lymphoproliferative Disorder
(MDS/MGUS)
o Type II: Autoimmune Disorder (SLE) 4th
decade of life
• All complement assays are low including
C1q

Signs & Symptoms
• Sudden appearance of red welts, near eyes & lips, also hands, feet, and inside of throat
• Burning, painful, swollen areas; sometimes itchy
• Discolored patches or rash on the hands, feet, face, or genitals
• hoarseness, tight or swollen throat, breathing trouble

Complications
The distinction
between
symptoms of
Angioedema &
complications of
Angioedema is
unclear or
arbitrary.
Anaphylaxis
Life-threatening airway blockage

Diagnosis• The health care provider will
o Look at your skin
o Ask about beening exposed to any irritating
substances.
• A physical exam might reveal abnormal sounds
(stridor) when you breathe in if your throat is
affected.
• The health care provider may perform
o blood tests
o allergy testing

Treatment
Antihistamines
Anti-inflammatory medicines (corticosteroids)
Epinephrine shots
Inhaler medicines that help open up the airways
Ranitidine (Zantac)
• If the person has trouble breathing, seek
immediate medical help.
• Medications include

Prevention
Avoid irritating the affected area.
Stay away from known allergens.
Never take medications that
are not prescribed
