A patient who manifested both pulmonary and hepatic disease associated with alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency is described. The biological function of alpha1-antitrypsin is discussed, as well as the inheritance of deficiency states and the spectrum of disorders which may ensue. Severe deficiency of alpha1-antitrypsin has been linked with pulmonary emphysema in adult life, progressive liver disease in childhood, adult cirrhosis but rarely with both pulmonary and liver disease.
本文描述了一名同时患有与α1-抗胰蛋白酶缺乏相关的肺部和肝脏疾病的患者。文中讨论了α1-抗胰蛋白酶的生物学功能,以及缺乏状态的遗传情况和可能随之出现的一系列疾病。α1-抗胰蛋白酶的严重缺乏与成年期的肺气肿、儿童期的进行性肝病、成年期肝硬化有关,但很少同时与肺部和肝脏疾病相关。
