AngioedemaAngioedema – General InformationThis disorder, also known by the name Quincke's edema, is a rapid swelling, called edema, of the skin, in the mucosal and submucosal tissues. It can be provoked by some other medications as a side effect, especially form ACE inhibitors, or mediated by allergy. But also, there is an autosomal inherited form, a dominant form, because of the mutations in the SERPING1 gene, which provokes an increased deficiency of the blood protein C1-inhibitor, and this form of Angioedema is called hereditary Angioedema or can be also encountered, as an old term, as hereditary angioneurotic edema. In this form of the disease, the swelling may also appear in the digestive tract and in other organs. In many cases the disease has progressed rapidly, that’s why it should be considered and treated as a medical emergency, which can also provoke airway obstruction and suffocation. The use of Epinephrine can be a lifesaving option when the cause of the disease is allergic. In the case of hereditary form of the disease, the treatment with epinephrine has not shown any signs of preventing the morbidity or the delay time necessary to treat. Some times, the disease can be provoked by several causes that involves animal dander scales of shed skin, certain medications, emotional stress from exposure to water, sunlight, cold or heat, foods such as berries, shellfish, fish, nuts, eggs, milk, and others, insect bites, and pollen. This type of disorder can also appear after other infections or illness, which includes autoimmune disorders and leukemia.Angioedema – SymptomsThe main symptoms of the Angioedema usually appear in the face area, which include the skin, commonly around the mouth, and the inside of the mouth and throat, but also on the tongue, which can swell up over periods of several minutes to several hours. The swelling can also appear in other places, in most of the cases, on the hands, and these swellings can be very itchy. There can be also a short decreased sensation in the affected areas because of the compression of the nearby nerves. Urticaria, also known as hives, can appear simultaneously. In severe cases of the Angioedema, strider of the airway occurs, with respiratory dysfunctions, characterized by gasping or wheezy inspiratory breath sounds and decreasing oxygen levels. The main measure taken in these cases is intubation, to prevent respiratory stoppage and a high risk of death. In some cases, the patient has been recently exposed to an allergen, but, usually, the cause of developing the disorder is unknown or only weakly accorded to the allergen exposure. In the hereditary Angioedema, there is in most of the cases no direct cause, but short trauma and specific stimuli can cause the attacks. In this case, the appearance of the urticaria and itch is not present, but the patient has several episodes of abdominal pain, and comes with intense vomiting, watery diarrhea, weakness, and in some cases, a non itchy rash. This form also cause swellings in other locations, but most commonly the limbs, genitals, neck, throat, and face.Angioedema – TreatmentThere are several types of Angioedema, and each type requires different treatment. For the allergic type of the disorder, the main goal is to prevent any attacks, and this prevention uses antihistamines and tries to avoid the allergen. In most of the cases Cetirizine, prescribed as Zyrtec, is the antihistamine for the disease. Some patients have shown improvement using the combination of a nightly low dose of cetirizine to slow down the appearance and severity of attacks, and then the patients use a higher dose when an attack appear. The severe stage of the Angioedema requires desensitization to the putative allergen, to avoid the death of the individual. The chronic stages use steroid therapy, which generally leads to a good improvement. If the patient suffers with the hereditary Angioedema, the avoidance of the future attacks is also made by the avoidance of the stimuli that provoked those attacks. There is a specific treatment that is applied in the curing of the disease, and consists in several methods like acute treatment, long term treatment and short term treatment. The goal of acute treatment is to stop the progression of the edema as soon as possible, which can save the life of the individual, especially if the swelling is in the larynx. Usually, the acute treatment consists in the administration, intravenously, of a C1-INH concentrate from the donor blood, and if there is no blood available, frozen plasma containing C1-INH can also be a good replacement. The long term treatment is used in patients that have attacks at least once a month and can increase the risk of developing laryngeal edema. This type of treatment usually uses male sex hormones, called androgens, which increase production of C1-INH in the liver by a mechanism unknown yet. There are also some cases in which patients developed benign liver tumors during a treatment trial with the androgen, so that’s why is important that the doctor prescribe the safe measure possible. There are also some alternatives to the long term treatment, consisting of drugs like fibrionlysis inhibitors, and tranexamic acid, which can be used, but are known to provoke any side effects, and have a low effect. The short term treatment, in curing Angioedema, is commonly administered before a surgery or dental treatment. In most of the countries, the C1-INH concentrate is used for this type of treatment and administered with 1 to 6 hours before the procedure. There are countries where C1-INH concentrate is not available or is only available in emergency cases, a high-dose of androgen is then taken for 5 to 7 days. In the acquired stage of Angioedema the treatment consists in the administration of type I and II and non-histaminergic antifibrinolytics like tranexamic acid or ε-aminocaproic acid, which can achieve good improvement. Cinnarizine can also be effective because it stops the activation of C4 and can be used in patients suffering with a liver disease while androgens can’t. |
