Milton in 1876 described one of his patients with angioedema, six years before Quincke introduced the term angioneurotic edema to describe this disease. As Dr. Milton pointed out, the clinical syndrome can be identified quickly, but its cause is not so easy to discern. Because of the severity of the symptoms and the need for a specific therapeutic approach, angioedema due to deficiency of C1 inhibitor must Full Text of this Article References This article has been cited by other articles: Bork, K., Hardt, J., Schicketanz, K.-H., Ressel, N.

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background Hereditary angioedema results from a congenital deficiency of functional C1 inhibitor and is characterized by episodic bouts of edema, which may be life-threatening when they involve the larynx. We evaluated the effectiveness of a C1 inhibitor concentrate in the prevention and treatment of attacks of hereditary angioedema. The concentrate was vapor-heated to inactivate hepatitis and human immunodeficiency viruses. Methods We conducted two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. The first was a crossover study consisting of two 17-day trials in which prophylactic infusions of either C1 inhibitor (25 plasma units per kilogram of body weight) or placebo were given intravenously every third day to six patients with hereditary angioedema.

www.calgaryallergy.ca The Canadian Hereditary Angioedema Society www.haecanada.com SYMPTOMS DIAGNOSIS ABOUT THE SOCIETY SYMPTOMS Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) and Acquired Angioedema (AAE) from C1 inhibitor deficiency are generally characterized by the occurrence of episodic attacks of swelling. This swelling may affect the face, extremities, genitals, gastrointestinal tract and upper airways. Some patients exhibit a distinctive rash. Swelling of the intestinal mucosa may lead to vomiting and painful, colic-like intestinal spasms which may mimic intestinal obstruction. Airway edema may be life-threatening. Episodes may be triggered by trauma, surgery, dental work, menstruation, some medications, viral illness and stress, however this is not always readily determined. DIAGNOSIS The incidence of this rare disease is uncertain, but 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 is often quoted. HAE is an autosomal dominant trait: a child has a 50-percent chance of having HAE if one parent has it. Spontaneous mutation may account for HAE in the absence of family history. Patients with the genetic defect produce either insufficient or dysfunctional C1 inhibitor protein. C1 inhibitor is a complement protein that regulates various pathways within the body important in the maintenance of health, for example - fighting infections or healing inflammation. Sometimes when the demand for C1 inhibitor within the body isn't met, swelling occurs.

Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Hereditary angioedema Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: 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: Hereditary angioedema is an inherited disorder. It is caused by the absence of a protein called C1 inhibitor (or a defect in this protein), which in turn effects 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. A family history is usually noted, at times only reported to descendants as an unexpected, sudden, and premature death of a parent, aunt/uncle, or grandparent.
