“…As a result, 3 of our patients had undergone laparotomy for abdominal attacks. It must be kept in mind, however, that for such patients, abdominal ultrasonography or computed tomography may help to actually distinguish a HAE attack from any gastrointestinal or other intra-abdominal disorder requiring surgery or other prompt therapy [11]. A principal reason for the diagnostic difficulties in the course of an acute episode is that there is currently no laboratory marker for identifying HAE attacks.…”

“…Patients should be clinically evaluated every 6 to 12 months, including age-appropriate cancer screening. Since hepatic function and transaminase levels may be preserved in some patients with hepatocellular adenoma, hepatic ultrasound should be considered as a useful additional parameter for routine assessment of adverse effects of attenuated androgens involving the liver [78][79][80]. It should be performed at least once a year.…”

“…Subsequent treatment of the HAE attack resulted in regression of all ultrasound abnormalities [41]. In another study of 11 acute abdominal HAE attacks, abdominal ultrasound performed during the attack revealed ascites and intestinal wall swelling in 7 of 11 patients, helping to confirm the diagnosis [42]. …”
