The aetiology of angio-oedema (AE) is difficult to determine; however, it is essential in emergency situations when two major contexts may be present: mast cell-mediated AE and bradykinin-mediated AE. Different forms of AE are currently distinguished based on clinical criteria (spontaneous duration of the attack, presence of concomitant or late-appearing superficial urticaria, history of atopy, and others), but specific biomarkers could improve patient management.
