Hereditary Angioedema and Pregnancy

Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2009
Background:  Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by a quantitative or functional defect in C1‐esterase inhibitor (C1‐INH). Patients with this deficiency present with episodes of angioedema which can be life‐threatening. Studies examining HAE and pregnancy are scarce with little known about the interrelationship between ...

Review of hereditary angioedema

LymphoSign Journal, 2016
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease caused by deficiency of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH). It is an autosomal dominant disease caused by a variety of mutations in the C1-INH gene. C1-INH is an important regulator of several pathways. One pathway it affects is the kallikrein–kinin pathway, which results in the generation of bradykinin ...

Hereditary Angioedema

Southern Medical Journal, 1992
Hereditary angioedema is a rare disease resulting from a lack of functional C1 esterase inhibitor (C1 INH). Several genetic defects can cause decreased production of the protein or the synthesis of a biologically inactive form. A similar, acquired condition is occasionally seen, associated with malignancies or as an autoimmune process. Disease severity
