Does angioedema influence the quality of life in chronic spontaneous urticaria patients?

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) symptoms are wheals in a number of cases accompanied by recurrent angioedema. The proportion of CSU patients manifesting both wheals and angioedema and those reporting only one type of symptoms is different - a similar number of patients experience both symptoms or wheals only, whereas 1–13% experience angioedema only1,2. Symptoms of CSU have a detrimental influence on patients' quality of life. Additionally, the coexistence between angioedema symptoms and wheals is related to prolonged disease duration2.
