Hereditary angioedema can be treated with many FDA-approved targeted medications, such as plasma-derived C1-INH, plasma kallikrein inhibitor (Ecallantide), and selective bradykinin-2 receptor antagonist (Icatibant). However, these targeted agents are not well-studied enough to be used for acquired angioedema. It is crucial for emergency medicine physicians to be familiar with and predict these reactions to prevent misdiagnosis, be prepared to treat these life-threatening conditions appropriately without delay and eliminate patients’ exposure to any unnecessary investigations or treatments. Here, SERPING1 is linked to hereditary angioedema.
