HAE images

These photographs are kindly shared by the US Hereditary Angioedema Association (HAEA) and are images of actual, diagnosed HAE patients provided by the patients themselves.

People with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) experience random, unpredictable swelling attacks in the hands, feet, abdomen, face and throat. Swellings involving the throat can close the airway and cause death by suffocation, while abdominal swellings can be excruciatingly painful and lead to unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
