Article Synopsis
- Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disorder that causes localized swelling due to an increase in bradykinin, but the impact of inflammation during attacks hasn't been well-studied.
- Researchers analyzed blood samples from 78 HAE patients during both symptom-free periods and active attack phases, measuring inflammatory markers like serum amyloid A (SAA), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and D-Dimer.
- Findings showed that during attacks, 88% of patients had elevated SAA, 65% had increased ESR, and 71% showed higher D-Dimer levels, suggesting a significant inflammatory response during HAE attacks compared to baseline levels.
There is a profile of patient with eosinophilic oesophagitis and atopic background, marked by the existence of IgE-mediated sensitizations. Our aim is to report the observed sensitivities to environmental and food allergens and panallergens in patients with eosinophilic oesophagitis with atopic background as well as characterizing other markers or analytical parameters. We suspect that the prevalence of sensitization to panallergens will be high and this will probably be relevant in terms of the onset and clinical course of the disease.
