By increasing awareness, we can create an environment for earlier and more accurate diagnosis and improve care for people with HAE. Ultimately, securing a better quality of life for everyone with HAE. https://haeday.org/ What is HAE? Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a very rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition that occurs in about 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 people. HAE symptoms include episodes of edema (swelling) in various body parts including the hands, feet, face and airway. In addition, patients often have bouts of excruciating abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting that is caused by swelling in the intestinal wall. Airway swelling is particularly dangerous and can lead to death by asphyxiation. We encourage you to do research and familiarize yourself with this rare condition, as well as spread the knowledge!
