Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1988
Although the condition is rare, patients with hereditary angioedema often present because of abdominal pain or airway compromise. A 27-year-old woman presented to the emergency department in acute abdominal distress. Identification of the disease in this patient allowed for proper management and avoidance of invasive procedures.

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2005
Major advances have been made in understanding the clinical signs and symptoms, the pathophysiology and the treatment of hereditary angioedema. This disease that often begins in childhood is caused by partial absence of the plasma protein C1-inhibitor.

Genetics of Hereditary Angioedema Revisited [PDF]
Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology, 2016 Contemporary genetic research has provided evidences that angioedema represents a diverse family of disorders related to kinin metabolism, with a much greater genetic complexity than was initially considered.

Hereditary Angioedema and Pregnancy
Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2009Background: 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, 2016Hereditary 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 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

An Update on Hereditary Angioedema
Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal, 2011Hereditary angioedema affects approximately 1 in 50,000 individuals without gender or ethnic preference. Hereditary angioedema is caused by a decreased level (type I) or function (type II) of C1 inhibitor. Patients experience repeated episodes of angioedema involving sites that include the face, extremities, gastrointestinal tract, and larynx ...

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a condition that results from an autosomal dominant trait. It manifests as attacks of swelling involving the extremities, trunk, abdominal viscera, face, neck, or airway. The attacks may occur spontaneously, without any identifiable trigger, or may be the result of a specific trigger, such as a minor tissue trauma.

Hereditary angioedema and aortitis
Klinische Wochenschrift, 1987A 28-year-old male with hereditary angioedema died of an extensive stroke. Autopsy revealed cicatricial aortitis with narrowing of the coronary ostia, myocardial infarctions, and a left ventricular mural thrombus. There was neither acute inflammation of the aorta nor systemic vasculitis.

Treatment of hereditary angioedema
Klinische Wochenschrift, 1978The purpose of this study was to report the results of different treatments in 20 patients with hereditary angioedema. Effectiveness of tranexamic acid in preventing swellings was evaluated in 15 patients: in all but 3 subjects tranexamic acid was effective without serious side effects. 15 severe attacks of edema were managed with intravenous infusions
