Hereditary angioedema
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by an inherited deficiency or a dysfunction of C1 esterase inhibitor. It is characterized by recurrent, nonpruritic subcutaneous or submucosal edema attacks. Most often edema affects the extremities, face, lips, genitals or gastrointestinal tract. Hereditary angioedema is potentially life-threatening when affect airway leading to asphyxiation. The clinical picture is similar to that of other forms of angioedema, therefore, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis is common. Effective management of hereditary angioedema must consider long-term prophylaxis, short-term prophylaxis and treatment of acute attacks.
