    Hereditary Angioedema: Introduction

    HAE

  • Lesson Hereditary Angioedema addresses these key points

    • Angioedema

    • Short-lived (lasting 3-5 days)
    • Swelling
    • Deep dermal layers or subcutaneous tissue
    • Submucosal tissue of various organs

    Allergic Angioedema (AAE)

    • Triggers provoke a classic histamine response
    • Characterized by hives and itching

    Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)

    • Absence of hives and itching
    • Can affect the airway leading to asphyxiation
    • Misdiagnosis/diagnostic delay is common
    • Deficiency/dysfunction of C1 esterase inhibitor
      • Overproduction of bradykinin
    • May be associated with mutation in FXII (Hageman factor)
