    Abstract Angioedema is generally readily recognizable clinically and is characterized by localized nonpitting edema involving subcutaneous, submucosal, or deep dermal tissue caused by increased vascular permeability and extravasation of intravascular fluid. It can occur via a variety of mechanisms. A number of clinical conditions (masqueraders) are occasionally mistaken for angioedema. Clinical classification of the various angioedema forms begins with noting the presence or absence of concurrent urticaria or wheals. Pathogenesis can be considered through two broad categories: mast cell-mediated with release of vasoactive mediators causing angioedema usually associated with urticaria or in the context of an anaphylactic reaction; and bradykinin (BK)-driven, in which increased vascular permeability is mediated by BK. BK-mediated angioedema does not occur with urticaria, nor does it respond to antiallergic medications. The various forms of hereditary angioedema are included in this category, requiring specific tests of C4 and C1 inhibitor level and function to confirm the diagnosis. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, which impair the degradation of BK, account for up to a third of all patients with angioedema presenting to the emergency department. Finally, angioedema may occur by yet unknown mechanisms; under this circumstance, it is difficult to manage.

    Abstract Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency (HAE-C1-INH) is a rare but medically significant disease that can be associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Research into the pathogenesis of HAE-C1-INH has expanded greatly in the last six decades and has led to new clinical trials with novel therapeutic agents and treatment strategies. Mechanisms of pharmacotherapy include (a) supplementing C1-INH, the missing serine-protease inhibitor in HAE; (b) inhibiting the activation of the contact system and the uncontrolled release of proteases in the kallikrein-kinin system, by blocking the production/function of its components; (c) inhibiting the fibrinolytic system by blocking the production/function of its components; and (d) inhibiting the function of bradykinin at the endothelial level. Strategies for managing HAE-C1-INH are aimed at treating acute attacks, or preventing attacks, through the use of prophylactic treatment. Available agents for treating acute attacks include plasma-derived C1-INH concentrates, a recombinant C1-INH, a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist, and a plasma kallikrein inhibitor. Long-term prophylactic treatments include attenuated androgens, plasma-derived C1-INH concentrates, and anti-fibrinolytics. Plasma-derived C1-INH and a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist are already approved for self-administration at home. The number of management options for HAE-C1-INH has increased considerably within the past decade, thus helping to alleviate the burden of this rare disease.

    Abstract Urticarial wheals and angioedema are 2 different clinical symptoms. Both belong to various disease entities, and may occur in combination or be isolated. Increased vasodilation and vasopermeability is a common feature. Histamine and bradykinin are well-known mediators. For clinical purposes, 3 groups of diseases can be differentiated: diseases with urticaria and angioedema, diseases with angioedema alone, and diseases with urticarial lesions without angioedema. The article presents an overview of these groups and the role of the main mediators, and the clinical features of urticaria and angioedema.

    Abstract Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a relatively rare autosomal dominant disorder that is typically characterized by recurrent episodes of edema in various body locations. It is most commonly caused by an inherited deficiency of functionally active C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH). Replacement therapy with a human plasma-derived C1-INH concentrate is recommended for the treatment and prophylaxis of acute attacks of HAE due to C1-INH deficiency (HAE-C1-INH). This article will discuss the current therapies available for the treatment of HAE-C1-INH, latest treatment guidelines, results of several studies demonstrating the efficacy and safety of the plasma-derived, pasteurized and nanofiltered C1-INH concentrate Berinert(®) (CSL Behring GmBH, Marburg, Germany), and future perspectives for the treatment and management of HAE-C1-INH.

    Abstract Hereditary angioedema (HAE) through C1 inhibitor deficiency is a rare but important disease. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of angioedema, which commonly affects the skin (in the form of swelling in the extremities, face and genitals) as well as the gastrointestinal tract (abdominal pain attacks). In approximately 1% of cases of angiodema-related swelling, there is obstruction of the upper airway, which is potentially life-threatening. Therefore, HAE due to C1 inhibitor deficiency may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Recent research has added to our ever-increasing understanding of the pathogenesis of HAE, which has, in addition, new clinical trials with new therapeutic agents and strategies. The following editorial covers drugs currently under investigation that have the potential to be promising new therapeutic options. While some compounds show promise for the future, there are currently no oral treatments available for the treatment of acute attacks. Furthermore, some of the intravenous therapies currently available require numerous injections and do not always prevent acute attacks. Attenuated androgens also may have problematic side effects, highlighting the need for new treatment options.
