What is C1 Esterase Inhibitor?

This test measures the level and function of C1 esterase inhibitor, a protein that helps regulate your immune system. Abnormal levels can indicate certain hereditary or acquired conditions.

Why is this test important?

C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency or dysfunction is primarily associated with hereditary angioedema (HAE) or acquired angioedema (AAE), conditions causing recurrent swelling episodes. This test is crucial for diagnosis and management.
