Abstract
Angioedema is characterized by transient movement of fluid from the vasculature into the interstitial space leading to subcutaneous or submucosal non-pitting edema. Current evidence suggests that most angioedema conditions can be grouped into 2 categories: mast cell-mediated (previously termed histaminergic) or bradykinin-mediated angioedema. Although effective therapies for mast cell-mediated angioedema have existed for decades, specific therapies for bradykinin-mediated angioedema have more recently been developed. In recent years, rigorous studies of these therapies in treating hereditary angioedema (HAE) have led to regulatory approvals of medication for HAE management thereby greatly expanding HAE treatment options.

Abstract
In recent years, hereditary angioedema (HAE) management has substantially advanced but also become more complex with additional therapeutic options. Pregnancy significantly influences the clinical symptoms of HAE in many women because of estrogen effects or other physiologic factors, and also introduces important safety concerns related to HAE medications. Management of HAE during pregnancy requires clinicians to be familiar with the potential clinical course, triggers, and recommended treatment strategies to provide guidance and optimal medical management to women and families affected by the condition. This review provides an overview of data, considerations, and recommendations related to HAE and pregnancy.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:930403. [PMID: 36186797 PMCID: PMC9515414 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.930403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In women with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) due to C1-inhibitor (C1INH) deficiency (C1INH-HAE), pregnancy counseling and treatment can be challenging. Despite the evidence of the immediate favorable outcome and safety of plasma-derived (pd)C1INH concentrate, there are no data regarding any difference among women who underwent or not pdC1INH during pregnancy or on children with in utero exposure to pdC1INH. The present interview study aimed at analyzing outcome of C1INH-HAE mothers and children according to pdC1INH-exposure during pregnancies. Methods C1INH-HAE women who experienced at least 1 pregnancy were included from seven centers of the Italian Network for Hereditary and Acquired Angioedema (ITACA). The interview study retrospectively analyzed pregnancies who underwent (group 1) or not (group 2) pdC1INH. The overall goals of the study included immediate and long-term outcomes, in terms of outcomes in the time interval between pregnancy and survey. Results A total of 168 pregnancies from 87 included women were analyzed. At term delivery (>37 gestation-week, GW) has been registered in 73.8% of cases, while spontaneous abortion (SA) occurred in 14.2% of cases with a mean GW 7 ± 2. The group 1 including pdC1INH-treated pregnancies comprised a third of the cohort (51/168, time interval 1.5 ± 10.4 yrs), while the group 2 represented 69.6% (117/168, time interval 32.8 ± 14 yrs). The same prevalence of SA occurred when comparing group 1 (11.7%) with group 2 (15.4%) with a similar GW at SA. The group 1 was older at the pregnancy time and younger at the interview than the group 2 (P < 0.01 for both); moreover, the group 1 showed a higher prevalence of cesarean delivery (P < 0.0001). The overall prevalence of obstetrical syndromes was similar between two groups: however, gestational diabetes was described only in pdC1INH-untreated pregnancies. In utero pdC1INH-exposed children (n = 45) did not show differences compared with unexposed ones (n = 99) in neonatal short-term outcomes. Conclusion Through appropriate management and counseling, most of C1INH-HAE women undergo successful pregnancy and delivery. For pregnant C1INH-HAE women being treated with pdC1INH, our findings are reassuring and might lead to an improvement of both the knowledge about treatments and the experience of HAE itself.

Abstract
PURPOSE The latest treatments do not sufficiently prevent miscarriage and fetal growth restriction (FGR) in pregnant women. Here, we assessed the effects of a human protein, CTRP6, that specifically inhibits the activation of the alternative complement pathway on miscarriage, fetal and placental development. METHODS Pregnant CBA/J mice mated with DBA/2 male mice as a model of spontaneous abortion and FGR were randomly divided into the control and CTRP6 groups. In the CTRP6 group, the mice were intravenously administered CTRP6 on days 4.5 and 6.5 post-conception (dpc). The abortion rate and fetal and placental weights on 14.5 dpc were examined. Remodeling of the spiral artery was also assessed. RESULTS The abortion rate in the CTRP6 group (13%) was reduced compared to the control group (21%), but there was no statistical difference. The placental and fetal weights in the CTRP6 group were also heavier than those in the control (P < 0.05). Moreover, the thickness of the blood vessel wall in the CTRP6 group was significantly thinner than that in the control (P < 0.05) and comparable to that in the non-abortion model (CBA/J x BALB). The ratio of the inner-per-the-outer diameter of the spiral artery increased more in the CTRP6 group than that in the control (P < 0.05). As well, the Th1/Th2 cytokine ratio was significantly reduced by CTRP6 treatment. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the supplementation with a protein that regulates the alternative complement pathway in vivo improves FGR and promotes spiral artery remodeling in a mouse model of miscarriage and FGR.

Abstract
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, autosomal disorder that manifests with unpredictable episodes of severe swelling of the skin and mucous membranes. These attacks can be highly disfiguring and range in severity from mild to-in cases of airway swelling-life-threatening. Fluctuations in female sex hormones-such as the changes that occur during puberty, menses, contraceptive use, pregnancy, and menopause-can all affect the frequency and severity of HAE attacks. Disease management decisions for women of childbearing age may be more complex and require additional considerations since they could develop complications related to contraception, pregnancy, labor, delivery, and lactation. In addition, some HAE treatment options are contraindicated during pregnancy. Discussions about medications used to treat HAE should include a risk-benefit assessment of the woman's health status, her preferences, and other factors that are relevant to the choice of therapy. Planning prophylactic therapies that are effective and safe before, during, and after pregnancy can prevent gaps in treatment, ensure continuity of care, and reduce both disease burden and risk of adverse fetal outcomes. The 2020 US Hereditary Angioedema Association (HAEA) Medical Advisory Board and 2021 World Allergy Organization/European Academy of Allergy and Immunology (WAO/EAACI) Guidelines outline key considerations for managing HAE in females of childbearing age (15-45 years), with the goal of improving treatment efficacy and safety for this cohort of patients. Treatment decisions made in a collaborative manner involving the patient, HAE specialist and obstetric/gynecologic specialist, is the best approach to ensure optimal HAE management and safety in this patient population.

Abstract
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare and disabling disease for which early diagnosis and effective therapy are critical. This revision and update of the global WAO/EAACI guideline on the diagnosis and management of HAE provides up-to-date guidance for the management of HAE. For this update and revision of the guideline, an international panel of experts reviewed the existing evidence, developed 28 recommendations, and established consensus by an online DELPHI process. The goal of these recommendations and guideline is to help physicians and their patients in making rational decisions in the management of HAE with deficient C1-inhibitor (type 1) and HAE with dysfunctional C1-inhibitor (type 2), by providing guidance on common and important clinical issues, such as: 1) How should HAE be diagnosed? 2) When should HAE patients receive prophylactic on top of on-demand treatment and what treatments should be used? 3) What are the goals of treatment? 4) Should HAE management be different for special HAE patient groups such as children or pregnant/breast feeding women? 5) How should HAE patients monitor their disease activity, impact, and control? It is also the intention of this guideline to help establish global standards for the management of HAE and to encourage and facilitate the use of recommended diagnostics and therapies for all patients.

Abstract
Background: Hereditary angioedema is an autosomal dominant disease that presents with recurrent episodic swelling of the submucosal and/or subcutaneous tissues of the cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems. Evaluation and treatment guidelines have been published nationally and internationally to aid the treating provider. Methods: A review of the most cited and most recent updated guidelines was undertaken to review key points and to explore real-world feasibility of incorporating them into clinical practice. The International World Allergy Organization/European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (WAO/EAACI) Guideline for the Management of Angioedema - The 2017 Revision and Update, and the consensus reports from the Hereditary Angioedema International Working Group, the Joint Task Force on Practice Parameters focused practice parameter update, and the most recently updated US HAEA Medical Advisory Board 2020 Guidelines for the Management of Hereditary Angioedema were reviewed and summarized. Results: Key points that have been consistent throughout the guidelines include recommendations for evaluation and classification of hereditary angioedema as well as evidence-based guidelines for treatment. Further attention is required on the evaluation and continuous assessment of the burden of illness and quality of life (QoL). Conclusion: The guidelines for management of hereditary angioedema provide a framework for the clinician. However, the physician-patient dialog with regard to the patient disease experience, which includes attack frequency, severity, and Qol, must be continually assessed.

Abstract
There are several challenges that arise in caring for women with hereditary angioedema (HAE). Most notably, the disease course during pregnancy is unpredictable, but studies show that plasma-derived C1-inhibitor is effective and safe for treatment of attacks as well as long-term prophylaxis (LTP) in select patients. Vaginal deliveries are preferred to caesarean sections, and epidural anesthesia is preferred to general anesthesia in lowering the risk of an acute attack. Lactation postpartum may increase HAE attacks. With regard to contraception, combined oral contraceptive pills that contain estrogen exacerbate symptoms. Similarly, estrogen-replacement therapy in menopause may increase attacks and is contraindicated. Fertility is not impacted by HAE itself or by HAE medications. The risk of breast cancer and female reproductive cancer in women with HAE is comparable with that of the general population, but, in patients with HAE and breast cancer, LTP with androgens is contraindicated. Estrogen modulators, e.g., tamoxifen, should be used with caution. Here, we reviewed these special considerations and others that are vital to providers in caring for women with HAE.
