P099 Acute angioedema associated with iron deficiency anemia

Abstract

Acute angioedema with or without urticaria is a self-limiting condition that can occur in up to 20 percent of the general population at some point during their lifetime. In the absence of a history of hereditary or acquired angioedema, ACE-inhibitor use or autoimmune disease, many cases are considered idiopathic in etiology. We present two patients who developed severe acute angioedema in the setting of iron deficiency anemia.
