Coexistence of angioedema alone with impaired glucose tolerance.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Most patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) exhibit recurrent angioedema. As of yet, the pathogenesis of angioedema in CSU is largely unclear, especially when angioedema occurs in patients who do not develop wheals. Over the past years, we and others have repeatedly observed that patients with recurrent angioedema alone exhibit impaired glucose tolerance. AIM:To assess blood glucose levels and glucose tolerance in these patients and to compare the results to those of CSU patients who do not develop angioedema. METHODS:A total of 29 patients with angioedema alone (15 women, mean age 43.2 ± 12.8 years) and 33 CSU patients (17 women, mean age 41.9 ± 17 years) were investigated and compared for clinical features and laboratory values, including fasting and random blood glucose levels, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c%). All patients were subjected to oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT). RESULTS:Fasting plasma glucose levels, random blood glucose levels and OGTT glucose levels were significantly higher in patients with angioedema alone as compared to CSU patients. Glucose tolerance was impaired in 17 of 29 patients with angioedema alone (58.6%) and only in 2 of 33 CSU patients (6.1%). Patients were found to have an increased risk of high glucose (OR 1.74) and HbA1c (OR 1.83) blood levels and of developing a high BMI (OR 1.97). CONCLUSION:Recurrent angioedema in patients who do not develop wheals appears to be associated with impaired glucose tolerance and elevated blood glucose levels. We recommend blood glucose measurements in patients with recurrent angioedema alone.
