Hereditary Angioedema

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2022
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that usual results from a decreased level of functional C1-INH and clinically manifests with intermittent attacks of swelling of the subcutaneous tissue or submucosal layers of the respiratory or gastrointestinal tracts.

Angioedema

Dermatologic Clinics, 1985
Angioedema is characterized by a well-demarcated swelling on the skin, oropharyngolaryngeal tissue, or the gastrointestinal wall. Underlying mechanisms may include IgE-mediated reactions, complement activation, inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, direct release of mediators from mast cells, and activation of the ...

Angioedema

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2005
Although first described more than 130 years ago, the pathophysiology, origin, and management of the several types of angioedema are poorly understood by most dermatologists. Although clinically similar, angioedema can be caused by either mast cell degranulation or activation of kinin formation.

Unilateral angioedema

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2021
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor-induced angioedema is typically easily recognizable in the emergency department. Angioedema lateralizing to one side, however, is infrequently reported, rare, and has the same potential of progression to airway compromise.

Angioedema

Pediatric Annals, 2019
Angioedema is a localized swelling of the skin and submucosal tissues and is generally benign and self-limiting. However, it can be life threatening if angioedema involves the upper airway, resulting in airway obstruction. Airway protection would be critical and lifesaving in patients with angioedema irrespective of the underlying etiology.

Diagnosing Angioedema

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2013
Angioedema usually occurs within the setting of allergic diseases or urticaria, but situations occur in which angioedema itself represents a disease, such as in hereditary angioedema. Evaluation of patients for recurrent angioedema without wheals must take into account both specific clinical signs and symptoms and specialized laboratory testing.

Angioedema

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2014
Urticarial wheals and angioedema are 2 different clinical symptoms. Both belong to various disease entities, and may occur in combination or be isolated. Increased vasodilation and vasopermeability is a common feature. Histamine and bradykinin are well-known mediators.
