   Extractions: Clinical Trial Database Now Available Welcome to the United States Hereditary Angioedema Association’s website. Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare disorder that results from a genetic deficiency of the blood-based protein C1 inhibitor . HAE patients experience attacks of edema (swelling) in the hands, face, feet, abdomen, and/or throat (airway). Swelling that involves the throat can close the airway and cause death by suffocation . Abdominal attacks often result in severe pain and intense vomiting serious enough to require hospitalization for pain management and IV fluids. Anyone with a history of swelling attacks should obtain a thorough work-up from a specialist. In our experience, specialists in Allergy/Immunology have the background and training necessary to diagnose the cause of chronic swelling. Because HAE is very rare, most patients with edema symptoms will receive a diagnosis that points to other conditions.

Z Contents of this page: Antibodies Definition Return to top Hereditary angioedema is an inherited abnormality of the immune system that causes swelling, particularly of the face, and abdominal cramping. Also see angioedema Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Hereditary angioedema is an inherited disorder. It is caused by low levels or improper function of a protein called C1 inhibitor . This, in turn, affects blood vessels. People with hereditary angioedema can develop rapid swelling of the hands, feet, limbs, face, intestinal tract, or airway (larynx or trachea). Unlike an allergic reaction , there is usually no itching or hives . Swelling of the gut can cause intestinal cramping. If swelling closes the airway, it can be fatal. Attacks of swelling can become more severe in late childhood and adolescence. There is usually a family history of the condition, but this may only reported to descendants as an unexpected, sudden, and premature death of a parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent.

   Information Concerning A Rare Blood Disease Called hereditary angioedema.  
   http://www.hereditaryangioedema.com/bork.html
   
   Extractions: Professor Konrad Bork, who many of us might remember from the last conference in Baltimore, has been frustrated to hear of the recent deaths in our HAE community. It was with this thought in mind, that he worked with HAE Association President, Anthony Castaldo to prepare the following letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association. We thought that the HAE patient community would like to read what the good Doctor and Mr. Castaldo had to say on our behalf. To the Editor : It is with great sadness that we report four recent, completely avoidable deaths by asphyxiation of US patients suffering from the rare, genetic disease known as Hereditary Angioedema (HAE). In one of these cases, a 12-year-old female died in her father’s arms as she was being rushed to the hospital. HAE attacks are caused by a deficiency in the serine protease inhibitor, C1 inhibitor, and are characterized by the recurrent and unpredictable swelling of the extremities, face, bowel wall, and upper airway. Abdominal attacks are debilitating and bring severe crampy pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Moreover, as proven by the tragic deaths noted above, laryngeal edema is a life threatening medical emergency that can close the airway and cause asphyxiation.
