13th C1-INHIBITOR DEFICIENCY ANGIOEDEMA WORKSHOP
2023-05-04 13:00 - 2023-05-07 14:30 (Europe/Copenhagen)
This series of conferences organised every other year is devoted to the presentation and discussion of the latest scientific findings related to bradykinin-mediated angioedemas in the first place. It has long been known that in addition to C1-inhibitor deficiency, the background of these angioedematous disorders might also include further – genetic and other – factors. Therefore, the title of the conference has been supplemented with the word ‘Angioedema’, in order to harmonize it with its agenda.
