In one version of this testing, you provide a blood sample by pricking your finger and placing a drop of blood on special test paper. This test paper is then sent to a laboratory in a prepaid envelope. The laboratory conducts AAT genotype testing, and the results are provided confidentially ...
Specimens from hospital out-patients and in-patients sent for faecal occult blood tests were also analysed for faecal alpha-1-antitrypsin and faecal haemoglobin. 453 stool specimens from 222 patients were analysed. The clinicians were only aware of the faecal occult blood test results, and ...
As every person has two copies of the A1AT gene, a heterozygote with two different copies of the gene may have two different bands showing on electrofocusing. The blood test results (i.e. IEF results) are notated as in PiMM, where Pi stands for protease inhibitor and “MM” is the ban...
In terms of treatment, augmentation therapy is where you replace alpha-1 antitrypsin in the blood, although this doesn’t cure the disease, so other therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease like supplemental oxygen are often needed as well. 治疗的话,主要是替代治疗(?)和对症治疗 Supplemen...
MIA1101 detects Alpha1-Antitrypsin which has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 46 kDa.MIA1101 was formerly sold as a Seradyn product. 靶标信息 Alpha-1-AT is synthesized in the liver and it acts as an inhibitor of proteases such as trypsin, elastase, chym...
Fortunately, the liver makes alpha-1 antitrypsin which gets released into the blood and sentto the lungs, where it inhibits neutrophil elastase just like it inhibits trypsin, inactivatingit before it can break down the protein elastin. 还好,是时候我们肝脏发挥酶的老大哥的地位了,我生产个抗你的蛋白...
NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Definition (NCI) A genetic disorder characterized by decreased alpha-1 antitrypsin activity in the lungs and blood and deposition of alpha-1 antitrypsin protein in the hepatocytes. These abnormalities result from defective production of alpha-1 antitrypsin...
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a rare genetic disorder associated with the development of liver and lung disease. AAT is a 52-kD glycoprotein, produced mainly by hepatocytes and secreted into the blood. Agglomeration of the AAT-protein in hepatocytes can result in liver disease. Exposur...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency associated liver disease (AATD-LD) is a rare genetic disorder and not well-recognized. Predicting the clinical outcomes of AATD-LD and defining patients more likely to progress to advanced liver disease are crucial for better understanding AATD-LD progression and promoti...
