6 year old grandson has alpha-1-antitrypsin. his phenotype is mz. his serum level is 96 mg. will he need treatment if his level drops below 90 mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No treatment needed: Your 1 year old grandson blood level of Alpha-1- Antitrypsin is good ( normal range is 75-150mg) so he would not need any treatment till his serum level becomes below 75 mg .Children having phenotypeMZ usually do well and do not get lung or liver disease .
