關於HAE遺傳性血管性水腫病人組織(香港)
The Hong Kong HAE Patient Group (“hae hk”) has been formed in 2019 to support patients with hereditary angioedema (“HAE”) and their families to create awareness, provide education, and gain access to modern treatments so that HAE patients can enjoy a higher quality of life.
遺傳性血管性水腫病人組織 (香港) 有限公司 (“hae hk”) 成立於2019年,旨在支援遺傳性血管性水腫(“HAE”) 病人及其家人,以提高認識,提供教育,探索現代治療,以便HAE病人能夠享受更高的生活質素。
HAE is a very rare genetic and potentially life-threatening disease that occurs in about 1 in 50,000 people. It is caused by C1 esterase inhibitor deficiencies in the body.
HAE是一種可以危害生命的罕有遺傳疾病,約在50,000人中便有一個個案。 它是由體內C1酯酶抑制蛋白缺乏或功能異常引致的。
HAE symptoms include episodes of edema (swelling) in various body parts including the hands, feet, face and airway. In some cases, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting can result by swelling in the intestinal wall.
HAE症狀包括身體各種部位(包括手,腳,面部和氣道)的水腫(腫脹)發作。 在某些情況下,腸壁腫脹會導致腹痛,噁心和嘔吐, 情況可持續數天。
Airway swelling is particularly dangerous and can lead to death by asphyxiation.
當患者發生喉頭水腫時特別危險,可能導致窒息死亡。
hae hk has been dedicated to ensuring that free medications are accessible to all individuals in Hong Kong. As of the time of writing, Hong Kong now provides complete reimbursement for all on-demand medications for HAE, such as C1-inhibitor replacement and Icatibant. This means that patients can obtain these medications promptly without the need to “save up”. hae hk remains committed to further facilitating patient access to modern medication including preventative medications for all individuals.
hae hk 致力確保香港所有患者都能獲得免費藥物。在撰寫本文時,香港現已對HAE患者近乎免費提供即時治療的所需藥物(如C1補充劑和抑制劑替代品Icatibant)。這意味著患者可以迅速獲得對症下藥的治療。hae hk 仍致力進一步促進患者獲得現代藥物,包括預防性藥物。
hae hk aims to achieve optimal standards of care and treatment for all people affected by HAE living in Hong Kong so that they too can live a fulfilled and higher quality of life.
hae hk的目標是為所有受HAE影響的人士提供最佳的護理和適當治療資訊,使他們能擁有更充實及高質的生活。
