Recurrent angio-oedema--three cases of C1 inhibitor deficiency.
C1 Inhibitor deficiency is a rare disorder, characterised by recurrent angio-oedema of skin, upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. It can be a mimicker of acute abdomen or anaphylaxis to drug or food and lead on to unnecessary overtreatment. Three case reports of such patients with history of recurrent abdominal pain and angio-oedema due to C1 Inhibitor deficiency is reported here.
متن کاملRecurrent intestinal obstruction with acquired angio-oedema, due to C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency.
A 52-year male with past history of ulcerative colitis 20 years back (now in remission), developed recurrent small intestinal obstruction at intervals of a few months. CT scan did not detect the cause initially. A repeat CT scan (USA) showed interbowel fluid with transient ascites (serum albumin normal). Angio-oedema was suspected and low C4 with C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency confir...
متن کاملChallenges of C1-inhibitor concentrate self-administration.
Self-administration of therapy can help hereditary angioedema (HAE) patients regain control of their disease or reduce its impact and improve the quality of their lives. However, data from a self-administration survey, and subsequent discussion at an international HAE expert meeting, identified several barriers to self-administration therapy. These barriers include difficulty in administration ...
متن کاملSpontaneous regression of acquired C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency associated with splenic marginal zone lymphoma presenting with recurrent angio-oedema.
A 52 year old woman with marginal zone lymphoma developed recurrent episodes of angio-oedema and was found to have C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency. She declined chemotherapy for the lymphoma. Fourteen months after her initial presentation she was found to be in partial remission, and this was confirmed by peripheral blood film and bone marrow examinations. This was associated with normalisatio...
متن کاملC1-esterase inhibitor concentrate rescues erythrocytes from complement-mediated destruction in autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
In autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), autoantibody-mediated complement activation results in C3 deposition on RBCs and possibly the formation of the membrane attack complex cumulating in intravascular hemolysis.1-4 In case of acute signs of tissue hypoxia, life-saving transfusion with RBC units is required. However, recovery of RBC transfusions is inadequate because autoantibodies react with r...
