The impact of HAE is far-reaching for many patients5
In spite of the progress achieved, even patients who report that their hereditary angioedema (HAE) is well-controlled still experience a daily impact, regularly accepting attacks and daily trade-offs.7,8
Many patients fail to report some attacks, as they may consider them relatively mild and have learned to live with them.3,8 While not life-threatening, these attacks still have an impact on daily living.2,5
Your patients may:
Restrict their physical activities or otherwise modify their lifestyle1
Try to "work through" attacks, resulting in decreased productivity1
Adjust or miss social activities because of their physical or emotional health5
Feel guilty or like a burden to family members4
Not talk about the day-to-day impact of HAE on their daily living3
HAE Treatment Guidelines outline a primary objective of
normalizing life as much as possible,
ensuring patients are able to engage in all work, school, family, and leisure activities as desired, without limitation from their hereditary angioedema symptoms.1,20
