Modification of the alpha 1-antitrypsin phenotype in neonatal hepatitis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Two cases of neonatal hepatitis are described, one related to cytomegalovirus infection and the other idiopathic. In both infants a transient abnormality of the alpha 1-antitrypsin phenotype, inconsistent with the parent's phenotypes, reverted to normal during the convalescent phase of the illness.

Typical liver cell inclusions of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency were found in a patient with the Pi S phenotype and acute alcoholic hepatitis. It is suggested that the inclusions resulted from the combined effects of the S phenotype and alcohol and, on the basis of the known chemistry of the variant antitrypsins, that the lowered serum concentration of antitrypsin associated with the S allele m...

متن کاملAlpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in patients with chronic hepatitis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency causes accumulation of mutant alpha-1 antitrypsin molecules in hepatocytes, and is attributed to severe liver injury even in heterozygous state. However, there is a question as to whether alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is only a cause of liver injury or has a worsening effect on the underlying liver disease. We aimed to determine the role of alpha-...

To investigate the possible role of cell mediated cytotoxicity in the pathogenesis or perpetuation of liver damage associated with alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from 13 children with PiZZ phenotype who had had liver disease in infancy were incubated with autologous hepatocytes in a microcytotoxicity assay. There was a clear trend for cytotoxicity to in...
