Abstract: 【Abstract】 Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disorder mediated by bradykinin and characterized by recurrent skin and/or mucosal edema. HAE attacks commonly affect the skin, upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. Laryngeal edema in HAE patients carries a high mortality rate. Enhancing dermatologists′ ability to diagnose and treat HAE can significantly improve patient outcomes. This consensus was developed based on Chinese and international high-quality literature in recent years and clinical experience of 19 dermatological experts in China, aiming to provide standardized diagnosis and treatment pathway for HAE.
