CLINICAL REVIEW Acquired C1 Esterase Inhibitor Deficiency

Acquired C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency is a rare condition associated with autoimmune or low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders. Adults or elderly patients are most commonly affected. The diagnosis is suspected when patients present with recurrent angioedema and low serum levels of C4 with normal levels of C3.

Lymphoproliferative disease and acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency.

Angioedema due to acquired deficiency of the C1-inhibitor is a bridging condition between autoimmunity and lymphoproliferation. We report 32 patients with acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency: 23 have anti C1-inhibitor autoantibodies; 13 have monoclonal gammopathies of unknown significance and 9 have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Our series suggest that different forms of B cell disorders coexist and/or ...
