Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by both liver damage and lung disease in children and adults because of a decrease in the serum protein content due to the mutations in the PI (proteinase inhibitor) gene. The majority of liver diseases are associated with a homozygous mutation of the Z allele. There are many variations of clinical manifestations of the liver disease in children with the PI*ZZ genotype.  In the neonatal period, liver disease is usually cholestatic; and it is accompanied by a prolonged cholestatic jaundice, skin itching, which can be determined only later (after 6 months), decreased appetite and bad weight gain, hepato- and splenomegaly. The article describes the pathophysiology of liver damage in children with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. The authors provide their recommendations for the management of children with suspected and confirmed alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Several studies have shown that some rare respiratory diseases, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cystic fibrosis (CF), and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) present oxidative stress (OS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Their involvement in these pathologies and the use of antioxidants as therapeutic agents to minimize the effects of OS are discussed in this review.
