Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Dear All has anyone treated this? apparently it is due to a lack of a blood protein called c1 inhibitor which then leads to continuous activation of the complement system and bradykinin formation.It is not responsive to hydrocortisone or antihistamines and one treatment is the use of Danazol. apparently anabolic steroids lead to an increase in ci esterase inhibitor. I havent seen the patient yet so havent been able to assess exactly how it affects her. Im wondering if turnera and smilax might be appropriate but if anyone has any ideas/ experience with this Id be very grateful. thanks , annette Quote
