Adrenomedullin as a potential biomarker involved in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) or Rendu–Osler–Weber syndrome (ORPHA774) is a rare autosomal dominant vascular disease characterized by telangiectases and larger vascular malformations (VMs) of the pulmonary, cerebral, or hepatic vasculature [1]. The hallmark of HHT is telangiectasis, which is an abnormal communication between an arteriole and a dilated and tortuous venule in the capillary bed. HHT can be diagnosed either through molecular genetic test or using the Curaçao clinical criteria (recurrent epistaxis, cutaneous/mucosal telangiectasia, visceral VMs, and a first-degree family member with HHT) [2,3].
