Current and emerging therapies to prevent hereditary angioedema attacks. Am J Manag Care. 2018 Aug;24(14 Suppl):S299-S307 Authors: Lumry WR Abstract Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease defined by recurrent attacks of edema, causing a substantial burden for patients, with morbidity, mortality, and reduced quality of life. This burden is increased by delayed diagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and suboptimal follow-up and patient education. Several novel therapeutics have recently been approved or are currently under evaluation for prevention of HAE attacks. PMID: 30132644 [PubMed - in process]
