Angioedema is self-limited localized subcutaneous or submucosal swelling due to enhanced vascular permeabilitity. There are two main mediators involved in angioedema pathogenesis - histamine and bradykinine. Distinguishing between histaminergic and bradykinin mediated angioedema is crucial for choosing an effective treatment.

Keywords: angioedema, bradykinin, histamine, urticaria, C1 inhibitor.
