Abstract
Hereditary angioedema with normal C1 inhibitor (HAE-nl-C1INH) was initially described almost a quarter century ago. Considerable progress toward unraveling the mysteries of this complex disease has been made during the intervening years. The ability to diagnose, classify, and treat HAE-nl-C1INH, however, continues to present daunting clinical challenges. In this article we have attempted to summarize current areas of scientific consensus and provide some insights to assist physicians caring for affected individuals. Coherently describing the field of HAE-nl-C1INH in many ways embodies a precarious balance between assertions anchored by data versus conjecture. In this Rostrum we have tried to encapsulate the numerous scientific developments over the past 25 years into a proposed classification schema intended to facilitate decisions when evaluating patients with recurrent angioedema. Founded on an accurate diagnosis in conjunction with an appreciation of the underlying pathomechanism, targeted patient treatment strategies can be appropriately designed. It is hoped that this approach will lay the groundwork for future advances in our understanding of HAE-nl-C1INH while bringing patients ever closer to the goal of leading a normal life.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
