r/A1AD

I’m 23 F and was just diagnosed with A1AD. I will be seeing a specialist in hepatology, but I’m not sure when. My GI doctor told me to avoid all alcohol. Is this basically my whole life then I can’t drink? Im not a big drinker, but I do like the occasional drink or going out to a band and having some drinks. It sounds silly and dumb, but I just am having a hard time with that as I’m young and my friends and husband and his friends all drink socially. Is this something that I should expect my whole life? I can’t have a drink at all?

I was diagnosed after lots of testing due to elevated liver enzymes.

Hi all
42 F here I have mild AATD (level 0.80) and recurrent early miscarriages. Has anyone with AATD successfully carried a pregnancy? Did you use aspirin or progesterone? Looking for hope and advice.

I’m 23F and my GI provider did lots of tests due to my unexplained elevated LFTs, history of very early cholestasis of pregnancy, and unexplained nausea and loss of appetite. My alpha 1 antitrypsin was slightly low at 87 and I see my phenotype result is MZ. I’m confused. Does this mean I have a form of A1AD? Could this play into my liver enzymes?

What levels start to be considered low? My value has been 87 and then 97 a little bit later. Is this a normal and okay value? What values have others had?

37F just recently found out about low alpha 1 protein and high liver enzymes. They ran the phenotype and it came back M_. I’m scheduled to follow up with a hepatologist but would love to hear from anyone who has knowledge on this on what to expect next.
