BAAAD GENES
At 47 I was diagnosed with emphysema though I knew I hadn't smoked "enough". Last year at 59 I was finally diagnosed with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, a very rare but very bad genetic disorder. I'm putting this out there so anyone who has been diagnosed with emphysema "too young" (under 50) will

Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency - Specialised Services?
We have been left behind in the wake of the reformed new NHS, all the rhetoric, parliamentary patient day and promises of a Highly Specialised Service for A1AD patients all seem to be lost, nothing at all is happening to help these very ill and desperate cohort of patients in the New NHS. Appeal to

It can also cause liver disease later in life, even among people who do not drink alcohol or who are not exposed to toxic substances that cause liver damage. Dr. Jeffrey Teckman is a paediatric hepatologist

COPD by another name could be Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
Have you been told you have COPD? Has anyone else in your family had COPD, or unexplained liver disease, or a skin condition called panniculitis? If you have COPD, whether you smoke or not, whether you have ever smoked or never at all, Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency might be the cause of your COPD.

Elevated LFT's and low Anti Trypsin
I was investigated for abnormal LFT's back in 2003. Gamma GT circa 200 and slightly high ALT. Also found low levels and abnormal phenotype for Alpha 1 Antitrypsin (PiMZ). Ultrasound showed slight fatty liver. Diagnosis was NAFLD or less likely NASH. I'm in early 40's in good shape, low body fat, with

Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
If you have early signs of lung damage between the ages of <25 to 40 years of age ask your Dr to test for Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, this is the only genetic condition that causes early Emphysema and destruction of lung tissue.
