The Telangiectasia Self Help Group was founded in 1985 to maintain a register of sufferers and to put affected families in touch with one another.

 

The group was initially funded by a donation from the Thames/LWT Telethon Trust. A newsletter is sent to all members on an occasional basis informing them of the developments in the treatments of this disease.


Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia
( HHT ) also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu disease, was first described over 100 years ago. It is due to a faulty gene and is very variable causing some people considerable distress whilst others escape with much less severe problems. For many patients, nosebleeds are the main problem although bleeding from the lining of the stomach and intestines occurs in about 20% of cases.
