Abstract

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare and disabling disorder wherein there is excessive bradykinin production, with subsequent increased vascular permeability in the superficial tissues and gastrointestinal and respiratory mucosa. This article serves as a review of the pathogenesis of the disease, as well as an update of the evidence-based new treatment recommendations to help clinicians with the diagnosis and management of HAE.
