  • Title: [Alpha-1-antitrypsin in children with glomerular diseases (author's transl)].
    Author: Lubec G, Weissenbacher G, Balzar E, Bugajer-Gleitmann H.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1976 Apr 16; 88(8):271-4. PubMed ID: 1086552.
    Abstract:
    Alpha-1-antitrypsin was determined in children with glomerular diseases by means of a quantitative radial immunodiffusion method. The concentration of this inhibiting protein has been found to be very low during relapses. An attempt has been made to correlate this finding with the clinical picture and the presumed underlying pathological mechanism. The loss of this inhibitor due to proteinuria is one of the explanations, in concurrence with the findings of other authors. The second explanation lies in the consumption of the inhibitor protein as a consequence of the reaction with liberated proteolytic enzymes.
