α1-antitrypsin

Alpha 1 antitrypsin is a glycoprotein. It contains 10% to 20% sugar and is mainly synthesized by the liver. It is the most important protease inhibitor in serum and inhibits other enzymes such as thrombin and urokinase. It is also an acute phase reaction protein. In inflammatory diseases, α1 antitrypsin can enter the tissue fluid through capillaries. In the local area of ​​inflammation, the concentration is often high, which has a certain limiting effect on acute inflammatory diseases. Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Alpha 1-AT deficiency, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, severe hepatitis, nephrotic syndrome, protein-loss gastrointestinal disorder, malnutrition, immature children, early renal transplant rejection. Normal value: 1-1-antitrypsin (enzyme rate method): 0.85-2.13 U/L Above normal: Infectious diseases (bacterial, viral), malignant tumors, collagen diseases, pregnancy, surgery, drugs (estrogen, oral contraceptives, adrenal steroids, prostaglandins, etc.), typhus and the like. negative: Positive: Tips: Before eating, the diet is light, alcohol is forbidden, and rest is good. Check for an empty stomach in the morning. Normal value 1. Enzyme rate method (37 ° C) 0.85 to 2.13 U / L. 2. Immunoturbidimetric method 14.2～36.4μmol/L. Clinical significance 1, elevated: infectious diseases (bacterial, viral), malignant tumors, collagen disease, pregnancy, surgery, drugs (estrogen, oral contraceptives, adrenal steroids, prostaglandins, etc.), typhus and so on. 2, reduction: α1-AT deficiency, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, severe hepatitis, nephrotic syndrome, protein-loss gastrointestinal disorder, malnutrition, immature children, early renal transplant rejection. Low results may be diseases: nephrotic syndrome, α1 anti-trypsin deficiency liver disease precautions During pregnancy and estrogen treatment, α1 antitrypsin is elevated. Inspection process The enzyme rate method and the immunoturbidimetric assay were used. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
