Angioedema: Causes, Appearance and Treatment - DermNet Angioedema type Clinical features Acute allergic angioedema Almost always occurs with urticaria Angioedema and urticaria both usually occur within 1-2 hours of exposure to an allergen (exception is ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema that usually occurs within the first week of treatment but can occur weeks to months later)
ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema - DermNet Angioedema is reported to affect 0 1–0 7% of those taking an ACEi, and is one of the most common causes worldwide of a patient presenting to an emergency department with angioedema Factors recognised to increase the risk of developing ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema include:
Dermatological emergencies. Urticaria and angioedema Weals may be asymptomatic but are often intensely itchy or sting and burn Angioedema results from oedema of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue and accompanies urticaria in 40% of cases or occurs on its own in 10% Urticaria may be acute (<6 weeks duration) or chronic (>3 months)
Chronic spontaneous urticaria - DermNet The Angioedema Activity Score (AAS) allows the patient to score each of five key factors relating to their experience of angioedema from 0 to 3 (giving a daily score of 0–15) Daily AAS can be summed to provide 7-day (AAS7), 4-week (AAS28), and 12-week (AAS84) scores Assessment of quality of life in chronic urticaria
