  • Title: [Acute pancreatitis in a patient with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. Is there a causal relationship?].
    Author: Slebos-Beers JG, Veenhoven WA, Rijlaarsdam A.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1993 Oct 02; 137(40):2048-50. PubMed ID: 8413721.
    Abstract:
    The clinical pattern and the pathophysiological mechanism of the hereditary disorder alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency are outlined. It appeared that the patient described suffered not only from emphysema, cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma, but also from acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis. The combination of acute pancreatitis and alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency has not been described before. Screening of relatives is important because of possible treatment.
