The first report of two cases of fatal liver injury due to anti-tuberculosis drugs in the presence of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health problem. Awareness of liver injury due to anti-TB therapy is vital because fulminant hepatic failure is a devastating and often fatal condition without liver transplantation.

PERCC1‐associated enteropathy: Diagnostic challenges and enteral autonomy achieved with teduglutide

open access: yesJPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODE) are rare inherited disorders characterized by early‐onset intractable diarrhea. Though progress has been made in elucidating the genetic basis of CODE, much remains to be discovered. Another challenge is the lack of curative therapies—treatment is primarily supportive including enteral and ...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: outstanding questions and future directions

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2018
BackgroundAlpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a rare hereditary condition that leads to decreased circulating alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) levels, significantly increasing the risk of serious lung and/or liver disease in children and adults, in which ...

Protective role of the alpha-1-antitrypsin in intervertebral disc degeneration

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration is a complex disease with high prevalence. It suggests that cell death, senescence, and extracellular matrix degradation are involved in the pathogenesis. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a serine protease inhibitor,

When protein losing enteropathy persists: A case series of viral and lymphatic‐associated etiologies

open access: yesJPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare condition that is characterized by loss of plasma protein in the intestines leading to hypoproteinemia with subsequent peripheral edema and possibly anasarca. The pathophysiology of PLE varies depending on the etiology and involves either intestinal mucosal injury or lymphatic system alterations ...

Diagnosis of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency by DNA analysis of children with liver disease

open access: yesArquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2001
Background - Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder which is transmitted in a co-dominant, autosomal form. Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency affects mainly the lungs and the liver leading, in the latter case, to neonatal cholestasis, chronic ...
