El angioedema Angioedema Angioedema is a localized, self-limited (but potentially life-threatening), nonpitting, asymmetrical edema occurring in the deep layers of the skin and mucosal tissue. The common underlying pathophysiology involves inflammatory mediators triggering significant vasodilation and increased capillary permeability. Angioedema es un edema Edema Edema is a condition in which excess serous fluid accumulates in the body cavity or interstitial space of connective tissues. Edema is a symptom observed in several medical conditions. It can be categorized into 2 types, namely, peripheral (in the extremities) and internal (in an organ or body cavity). Edema localizado, autolimitado (pero potencialmente mortal), sin fóvea y asimétrico que se produce en EN Erythema nodosum is an immune-mediated panniculitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous fat) caused by a type IV (delayed-type) hypersensitivity reaction. It commonly manifests in young women as tender, erythematous nodules on the shins. Erythema Nodosum las capas profundas de la piel y el tejido mucoso. La fisiopatología subyacente común implica que los LOS Neisseria mediadores inflamatorios desencadenan una vasodilatación significativa y un aumento de la permeabilidad capilar. Clínicamente, el angioedema Angioedema Angioedema is a localized, self-limited (but potentially life-threatening), nonpitting, asymmetrical edema occurring in the deep layers of the skin and mucosal tissue. The common underlying pathophysiology involves inflammatory mediators triggering significant vasodilation and increased capillary permeability.

El angioedema Angioedema Angioedema is a localized, self-limited (but potentially life-threatening), nonpitting, asymmetrical edema occurring in the deep layers of the skin and mucosal tissue. The common underlying pathophysiology involves inflammatory mediators triggering significant vasodilation and increased capillary permeability. Angioedema también puede comprometer las vías respiratorias. La urticaria Urticaria Urticaria is raised, well-circumscribed areas (wheals) of edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) involving the dermis and epidermis with associated pruritus (itch). Urticaria is not a single disease but rather is a reaction pattern representing cutaneous mast cell degranulation. Urticaria (Hives) estará presente cuando el angioedema Angioedema Angioedema is a localized, self-limited (but potentially life-threatening), nonpitting, asymmetrical edema occurring in the deep layers of the skin and mucosal tissue. The common underlying pathophysiology involves inflammatory mediators triggering significant vasodilation and increased capillary permeability. Angioedema esté mediado por mastocitos, pero no cuando se deba a un aumento de la bradicinina. El diagnóstico suele ser clínico, pero las pruebas adicionales pueden incluir pruebas de piel/suero para antígenos específicos y la evaluación del nivel de C4. El tratamiento depende del mecanismo subyacente, pero puede incluir el tratamiento de la anafilaxia, la eliminación de agentes agresores, administración de antihistamínicos o glucocorticoides y/o terapias dirigidas a la bradicinina.
