Abstract
in English, Spanish

Objectives: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease. During the last years, many studies and advances have been developed with the aim of better understanding the pathophysiology, as well as optimizing patient management. Several international working groups have attempted to clarify and standardize the care of HAE communicated as guidelines and consensus recommendations. We considered necessary to provide recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with HAE in Argentina.

Methods: A group of specialists of allergy and immunology from Argentina by using the online surveys methodology as well as face to face meetings developed the intended consensus.

Results: Recommendations were established based on published evidence and the expert opinion. The consensus focused on diagnosis, acute management of attacks, short and long-term prophylaxis, special situations (pediatrics and pregnancy) and disease management considering the health care system in Argentina.

Conclusion: The recommendations established in this consensus guidelines will optimize the management of patients with HAE in Argentina.

Durante los últimos años se han desarrollado muchas investigaciones y registrado avances con el objetivo de entender mejor la fisiopatología y optimizar la atención a los pacientes. Diversos grupos de trabajo internacionales han intentado clarificar y normalizar el cuidado de pacientes con angioedema hereditario, lo que se ha reflejado en guías y consensos. Consideramos necesario desarrollar un documento de consenso con recomendaciones para el diagnóstico y tratamiento del angioedema hereditario en Argentina. Metodología: Un grupo de expertos de Argentina, conformado por especialistas en Alergia e Inmunología mediante metodología de ronda de encuestas a distancia y reuniones presenciales llevó adelante la elaboración del consenso pretendido. Resultados: Se establecieron recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia publicada y en el criterio de los expertos participantes. Las recomendaciones se enfocaron en el diagnóstico, tratamiento y profilaxis de las crisis a corto y largo plazo, control de situaciones especiales y consideraciones del sistema de salud en Argentina. Conclusión: Las recomendaciones establecidas en este consenso permitirán optimizar la atención médica de los pacientes con angioedema hereditario en Argentina.
