Acquired C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article due to personal interest in this topic. I have seen this disease process in the clinical setting and I have found that there are often many questions about the nature of the disease due to the lack of layperson information available to the general public. My goal is to provide more transparency about what is known of this topic and to provide information at optimal health literacy levels. When I came across the article on Wikipedia, I realized there was room for topic development due to the brevity of the page.
