F. Stehlin et al., « Angiœdèmes héréditaires sur déficit en C1-inhibiteur : nouveautés thérapeutiques [Hereditary angioedema due to C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency : novel approaches] », Serveur académique Lausannois, ID : 10.53738/REVMED.2020.16.689.0675
Hereditary angioedema type 1 and 2 are due to a deficiency in C1--esterase inhibitor. This molecule inhibits the generation of bradykinin, a potent inflammatory mediator that increases vascular permeability. Upon accumulation of bradykinin, patients affected develop painful subcutaneous or submucosal edemas that last for several days. In case the upper airways are affected, there is risk of suffocation. This type of angioedema does not respond to antihistamines, cortico-steroids or epinephrine. Management of angioedema attacks consists in injecting C1-esterase inhibitor concentrate or icatibant, a bradykinin receptor B2 antagonist. Preventive measures aim at reducing the frequency and the severity of angioedema attacks. Inhibition of -plasma kallikrein by lanadelumab, a monoclonal antibody adminis-tered subcutaneously, is effective and well tolerated.
