Angioedemas are characterized by the sudden onset of swelling in the deep dermis and subcutis. Their causes include allergic reactions, autoimmune mechanisms, infections and non-allergic/pseudo-allergic hypersensititvity reactions. Angioedemas often occur concomitantly with urticaria.
The following topics are discussed in the present book:
- Treatment of Allergic Angioedemas
- Emergency Therapy for Angioedemas
- Clinical Manifestation and Therapy for Hereditary Angioedemas
- Treatment of Hereditary Angioedemas in Children
- Acute Phase Proteins in Kinin-Induced Angioedema
- Bradykinin and the Kallikrein-Kinin System
- Drugs Affecting the Kallikrein-Kinin System
- RAAS Blockers and Bradykinin Metabolism
- Therapeutic Effects of ACE Inhibitors
