BACKGROUND: There are no previous Spanish guidelines or consensus statements on bradykinin-induced angioedema. AIM: To draft a consensus statement on the management and treatment of angioedema mediated by bradykinin in light of currently available scientific evidence and the experience of experts. This statement will serve as a guideline to health professionals. METHODS: The consensus was led by the Spanish Study Group on Bradykinin-Induced Angioedema, a working group of the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology. A review was conducted of scientific papers on different types of bradykinin-induced angioedema (hereditary and acquired angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency, hereditary angioedema related to estrogens, angioedema induced by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors). Several discussion meetings were held to reach the consensus. RESULTS: Treatment approaches are discussed, and the consensus reached is described. Specific situations are addressed, namely, pregnancy, contraception, travelling, blood donation, and organ transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: A review of and consensus on treatment of bradykinin-induced angioedema is presented.
