Abstract
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) encompasses aheterogeneous group of diseases with similar phenotypes but different underlying genotypes. Specific clinical signs may point to HAE as opposed to histaminergic angioedema: the typical prolonged development of angioedema over time, positive family history, a lack of response to antihistamines and steroids and response to bradykinin antagonists are typical signs of HAE. The different types of HAE may be associated with asevere clinical course. They are life-long conditions and are still potentially life-threatening. The quality of life of patients with HAE may be considerably impaired. Management plans should be individualized, which is facilitated by the variety of specific medicastions available.
