title: Consensus statement on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of angioedema mediated by bradykinin. Part II. Treatment, follow-up, and special situations.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  There are no previous Spanish guidelines or consensus statements on bradykinin-induced angioedema.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  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.
