Urticaria and angio-oedema.
Urticaria and angio-oedema are a symptom complex covering a wide range of clinical disorders. Specific types are now well described, and it appears that many cases of idiopathic chronic urticaria which make up the vast majority of patients referred for assessment are due to intolerance to natural salicylates, preservatives and colouring agents. There is, therefore, an urgent need for legislatio...
متن کاملUrticaria, angio-oedema and anaphylaxis.
laxis are distinct clinical entities caused by transient plasma leakage from small blood vessels. When the affected vessels are superficial the result is a raised, itchy swelling of the skin known as a weal. Involvement of deeper vessels produces tender subcutaneous and submucosal swellings known as angio-oedema. Generalised plasma exudation leading to shock is a feature of anaphylaxis but also...
متن کاملAngiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.
The purpose of this brief review is to separate the characteristic properties and side effects attributable to the pharmacology of the whole class of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors from those attributable to the chemical structure and kinetics of each particular ACE inhibitor. The former would be predictable and probably similar for all agents and, therefore, would be expected t...
متن کاملAngiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
ACE inhibitors have achieved widespread usage in the treatment of cardiovascular and renal disease. ACE inhibitors alter the balance between the vasoconstrictive, salt-retentive, and hypertrophic properties of angiotensin II (Ang II) and the vasodilatory and natriuretic properties of bradykinin and alter the metabolism of a number of other vasoactive substances. ACE inhibitors differ in the che...
متن کاملIncreasing rate of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-related upper airway angio-oedema.
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the increased use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) has affected the rate of upper airway angio-oedema (AE). In addition, we evaluated the presentation and treatment of patients with upper airway AE. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a ten-year retrospective study of 112 patients presenting with upper airway AE at T...
