Review of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Associated Panniculitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency associated panniculitis is commonly included in the dermatologist's differential diagnosis but the disease is rarely ever diagnosed or discussed. The pathophysiology, clinical presentation, histopathology, diagnosis, and treatment of AAT deficiency panniculitis will be reviewed.

PReS-FINAL-2256: Panniculitis revealing quantitative alpha 1 antitrypsine deficiency
Introduction Panniculitis can arise from many underlying causes. Potential causes include connective tissue disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma, lymphoproliferative disorders, pancreatic disease, gout, chronic kidney disease, alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha1 AT) deficiency and adverse reactions to medications. Alpha 1 AT deficiency is one of the most common hereditary disord...
متن کاملDiagnosing alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: the first step in precision medicine
Severe alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is one of the most common serious genetic diseases in adults of European descent. Individuals with AAT deficiency have a greatly increased risk for emphysema and liver disease. Other manifestations include bronchiectasis, necrotizing panniculitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Despite the frequency and potential severity, AAT deficiency remains...
متن کاملAlpha one antitrypsin deficiency: from gene to treatment.
Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder which contributes to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, liver cirrhosis and panniculitis. The discovery of alpha1-antitrypsin and its function as an antiprotease led to the protease-antiprotease hypothesis, which goes some way to explaining the pathogenesis of emphysema. This article will review the clini...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is the most abundant serine protease inhibitor circulating in the blood. AAT deficiency (AATD) is an autosomal codominant condition affecting an estimated 3.4 million individuals worldwide. The clinical disease associated with AATD can present in a number of ways including COPD, liver disease, panniculitis and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody vasculitis. AATD is the...
متن کاملFulminant hepatic failure in the setting of progressive ANCA-associated vasculitis associated with a rare alpha-1 antitrypsin phenotype, ’PiEE'
Abnormalities in alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) proteins are risk factors for human disease. While the most common is AAT deficiency, a genetic disorder associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, additional disorders associated with AAT abnormalities are increasingly recognised. We describe a middle-aged woman who presented with fulminant hepatic and multiorgan failure. Evaluation reveal...
