Diagnosis and treatment of hereditary angioedema with normal C1 inhibitor
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Until recently it was assumed that hereditary angioedema is a disease that results exclusively from a genetic deficiency of the C1 inhibitor. In 2000, families with hereditary angioedema, normal C1 inhibitor activity and protein in plasma were described. Since th...
