摘要

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease characterised by recurrent, self-limiting episodes of swelling. It is an autosomal dominant disease caused by low levels of the plasma protein C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) resulting in reduced plasmatic levels (HAE type I) or a dysfunctional protein (HAE type II), affecting equally men & women of all ethnic backgrounds. Patients can present with any combination of painless, nonpruritic, nonpitting swelling of the skin (cutaneous angioedema), severe abdominal pain, or acute airway obstruction. Attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) are unpredictable and, if affecting the upper airways, can be lethal. The attacks may be frequent or rare and they may vary substantially in severity, causing stomach discomfort or periorbital swelling in mild cases and hypovolaemic shock due to abdominal fluid shift or asphyxiation in the most severe cases. Since the symptoms of hereditary angioedema may be caused by other disorders (such as an allergic reaction), bloo d tests or genetic tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Two specific blood tests for hereditary angio edema check the level and proper functioning of C1-INH. Genetic testing could look for one of the known gene defects of chromosome 11 associated with hereditary angioedema. The most reliable and cost-effective screening test for HAE is a serum C4 level. Prior to the development of effective therapy, the mortality rate from HAE was 20 - 30%. In HAE types I and II, the treatment of choice in acute attacks consists of replacement with commercially available C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) concentrates or kallikrein inhibitor or, if those are unavailable, recommended fresh-frozen plasma. In HAE type III, infusion of C1-INH has proven to be ineffective.
