Abstract

Hereditary angioedema is a rare, genetic disorder characterized by painful, debilitating and potentially life-threatening angioedema attacks in subcutaneous and submucosal tissue. While usually unpredictable, attacks can be provoked by a variety of triggers including physical injury and certain medication and are often preceded by prodromal symptoms. Hereditary angioedema has a profound influence on the patients' lives. The fundamental cause of hereditary angioedema in almost all patients is a mutation in the SERPING1 gene leading to a deficiency in C1-inhibitor. Subsequently, the contact activation cascade and kallikrein-kinin pathway are insufficiently inhibited, resulting in excessive bradykinin production triggering vascular leakage. While C1-inhibitor is an important regulator of the intrinsic coagulation pathway, fibrinolytic system and complement cascade, patients do not have an increased risk of coagulopathy, autoimmune conditions or immunodeficiency disorders. Hereditary angioedema is diagnosed based on C1-inhibitor level and function. Genetic analysis is only required in rare cases where hereditary angioedema with normal C1-inhibitor is found. In recent years, new, highly specific therapies have greatly improved disease control and angioedema-related quality of life. This article reviews the clinical picture of hereditary angioedema, the underlying pathophysiology, diagnostic process and currently available as well as investigational therapeutic options.
