Will my child outgrow hereditary angioedema?

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a genetic condition and there is no cure. A person will not outgrow the disorder. People with HAE will receive periodic evaluations (screenings) to track the progress of the disorder. Although there is no cure, people who receive appropriate treatment of episodes and have developed an individual treatment and care plan with their doctors have a favorable prognosis and can have a normal or near-normal life expectancy. However, risks associated with the disorder, such as a life-threatening episode, will always exist.
