Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) are commonly used to manage hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Although angioedema due to ACEI is a well-known side effect, only a few cases are associated with ARBs, such as losartan. Medication-induced angioedema has been known for many years; however, the mechanism by which many medications cause angioedema is not clearly understood. Here we present the case of angioedema in a 50-year-old male taking losartan after he developed acute kidney disease.
血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACEI)和血管紧张素受体阻滞剂(ARBs)常用于治疗高血压和心血管疾病。虽然ACEI引起的血管性水肿是一种众所周知的副作用,但只有少数病例与ARBs(如氯沙坦)有关。药物性血管性水肿已为人所知多年;然而,许多药物导致血管性水肿的机制尚不清楚。在此,我们报告一例50岁男性在患急性肾病后服用氯沙坦出现血管性水肿的病例。
