In emergency room, this is crucial to diagnose an acute attack of hereditary angioedema (HAE) to quickly provide the efficient treatment. Currently, there is no specific biomarker for acute attack of bradykinin-mediated angioedema to help clinicians for patient care. However, previous works are carried out for that purpose. All the potential candidate biomarkers must be validated in prospective studies to estimate their specificity and sensitivity values, and to understand their potential utility in patient care. The main goal of this clinical trial is to estimate the diagnostic value of VE-cadherin in pediatric population, for the differential diagnosis between HAE crisis and angioedema resulting of mast cell activation crisis (the main differential diagnosis of HAE).
