Chronic idiopathic urticaria angioedema is a
type of angioedema that occurs in response to unknown causes and
persists for more than six weeks. The swelling can be very annoying and
may accompany itching and burning, as with other types of chronic
urticaria. Many people face problems, as they are unable to open
their eyes due to excessive swelling and others may feel difficulty in
breathing if the airway is being blocked because of the swelling caused
by chronic
idiopathic urticaria angioedema.
Urticaria
Angioedema
Urticaria angioedema, also known as
Quincke's edema, is the rapid swelling of the subcutaneous tissue,
mucosa, and submucosal tissues.
In extreme cases, it may also cause suffocation as the airway can be
blocked due to immense swelling. Therefore, if it progresses rapidly,
it should be treated as a medical emergency. If urticaria angioedema
has occurred in response to an allergy, epinephrine can be extremely
useful. However, if the patient has hereditary urticaria angioedema,
treatment with epinephrine has not been very helpful.
Autoimmune Urticaria Angioedema
Urticaria
angioedema has two major types: hereditary urticaria angioedema and
autoimmune urticaria angioedema. The first is a hereditary disease
whereas autoimmune urticaria angioedema is caused when certain parts of
body fail to recognize its own constituent parts as self, which allows
an immune response against its own cells and tissues. There is a
certain type of cells called mast cells, which act as a defense system
in humans. However, in certain circumstances, these cells become
disturbed and release a fluid called histamine. This fluid can damage
the surrounding membranes and cause itching and rashes. This process is
called autoimmune, and when the result is urticaria, it is called
autoimmune urticaria.
Autoimmune Chronic
Urticaria Angioedema
Autoimmune
urticaria angioedema, when persisting for more than 48 days
continuously is a chronic condition called autoimmune chronic urticaria
angioedema. The patient may suffer from burning and itchiness.
