Abstract:
Hereditary angioedema(HAE)is a rare hereditary disease characterized by episodes of cutaneous or mucosal edema,primarily affecting the skin,the gastrointestinal tract,and the upper respiratory tract.Gastrointestinal symptoms,including severe abdominal pain,nausea,and vomiting,are common manifestations of HAE,and these symptoms are often misdiagnosed as acute abdomen.HAE significantly impacts the quality of life and life span of patients.Therefore,it is crucial to improve the disease awareness of HAE among gastroenterologists.Based on this situation,the panel of experts on HAE has developed this diagnosis and treatment pathway.This pathway systematically summarizes the etiology,clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment pathway in Gastroenterology Department,differential diagnosis,and disease management of HAE,so as to improve the early diagnosis and effective treatment of HAE in Gastroenterology Department.
