| Abstract: | Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is a hereditary disease leading to hepatitis and cirrhosis. It is the most common genetic cause
of liver disease in children which must inherit the tendency from both parents to develop. It acquires the highest priority
in the differential diagnosis in a child with chronic liver disease. In this case report we substantiate the role of serum
protein electrophoresis, in diagnosing alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. |
