Angioedema can occur with or without urticaria. Many patients with acute attack of angioedema present to the emergency department. Histamine and bradykinin are two most common agents contributing to the development of angioedema. Clinical presentations of histamine and bradykinin mediated angioedema may be similar, but treatment of these two conditions differ. In order to improve outcomes of the treatment it is important to differentiate these types of angioedema.
This Research Topic aims to collect articles related to recent developments related to bradykinin and histamine mediated angioedema. Collection of articles related to this topic will aid to gather recent worldwide evidence on the topic, helping clinicians in management of the patients with improved outcomes.
Suitable themes for manuscripts include but are not limited to:
a. Pathophysiology of angioedema
b. Differential diagnosis of angioedema
c. Laboratory investigations for angioedema
d. Treatment strategies of angioedema
e. Evidence from original research related to angioedema
All article types accepted by Frontiers are welcome.
