At Astria, the experiences of patients guide all that we do. Their stories inspire us, their successes energize us, and their challenges give us purpose.
View Nathan’s Story
Meet Nathan, a college student studying finance who was diagnosed with HAE at 8 years old.
“It was a pretty easy decision to take a preventative medication. I kind of got to a point in high school where I was like, ‘I'm having too many attacks to kind of live a normal life – I'm missing too much school, missing too many extracurricular activities.’”
View Jasmine’s Story
We were thrilled to have the opportunity to get to know Jasmine, a 21 year-old college student living with type I HAE. Jasmine is a horseback rider, aspiring veterinarian, and HAE advocate.
“This is not something I would have paid attention to in the past, but as the years went by, I couldn’t ignore it.”
View Kim’s Story
Meet Kim, executive recruiter living with type II HAE. Kim remembers her first attack at 8 years old, but it took her 25 years to get a formal diagnosis. Ever since, she’s been motivated to support the HAE community as an advocate and a participant in clinical trials.
“Getting on a preventative treatment for HAE was life changing for me. Prior to that I was scared to go anywhere that was too far away from a hospital.”
