Angioedema is a common condition, affecting patients’ quality of life. Since it is a difficult-to-treat condition, the treatment is still challenging for the physicians. Prof. Kanokvalai Kulthanan has established Siriraj Urticaria Clinic at the Department of Dermatology, Siriraj Hospital since 2001 to focus on providing the best diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to patients with urticaria and also angioedema by dedicated multidisciplinary teams. Our teams have been consistently studying many types of research to improve the knowledge and management of angioedema as shown in many published high-quality articles.
In 2020, Siriraj Urticaria Clinic, Department of Dermatology, Siriraj Hospital has been certified as the first Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN)/HAE International (HAEi) Angioedema Centers of Reference and Excellence (ACARE) in Southeast Asia and promoted to be Siriraj Urticaria and Angioedema center. The clinic is willing to provide excellence in angioedema management, encourage and support researches in the field of angioedema as well as promote awareness towards angioedema through advocacy activities.
