Urticaria and Angioedema

Abstract

Abstract

Urticaria, having heterogeneous clinical and histopathological characteristics, and more than one concomitant urticaria subtypes in certain cases bring along diagnostic issues. The most important keys the physicians have to identify the etiology and the diagnosis are detailed clinical history and physical examination. Performing routine detailed laboratory analyses in each patient provides no diagnostic improvementand leads to significant health expenses. Although detecting and eliminating the etiologic and triggering factors is the most convenient treatment approach, that is not possible in most patients. The only treatment choice is symptomatic treatment in mostof the patients. Although antihistamines are the corner stone of the treatment, no response could be received in about half of the patients. Also, treatment practices in daily life have considerable differences from guidelines of urticaria treatment.

Ürtikerin heterojen klinik ve histopatolojik özelliklere sahip olması, bazı olgularda birden fazla ürtiker tipinin birlikte görülmesi tanısal sorunları beraberinde getirmektedir. Hekimlerin etiyolojiyi belirleme ve tanıyı koymada sahip olduğu en önemli anahtar doğru ve ayrıntılı klinik öykü ile fiziki muayenedir. Her hastada rutin detaylı laboratuvar incelemelerinin yapılması tanısal bir iyileştirme sağlamamakta veönemli sağlık harcamalarına neden olmaktadır. Etiyolojik nedenlerin ve tetikleyicilerin saptanması ve ortadan kaldırılması en uygun tedavi yaklaşımı olmasına rağmenbu çoğu hastada mümkün olmamaktadır. Hastaların çoğunda tek tedavi seçeneği semptomatik tedavidir. Antihistaminler tedavinin temel taşı olmasına rağmen hastalarınyaklaşık yarısında bu tedaviye yanıt alınamamaktadır. Aynı zamanda pratik hayattaki tedavi uygulamaları ürtiker tedavi rehberlerinden önemli oranda farklılıklar taşımaktadır.
