Yes I was diagnosed about 20 yrs ago. I developed acute enphasizma as result. I received 13yrs of prolastin IV treatments for my alpha 1. My mother passed at age 56 due to complications of liver failure due to alpha 1 as well as other major contributing factors. I'm 54 and I am a mirror image of my mother's health conditions. Thank you for your response much appreciated.

@marty1996 are you still receiving prolastin IV treatments for alpha 1? I have no experience with Alpha-1. @windwalker , @kimber361, and @merpreb have mentioned Alpha-1 in a post and may have some suggestions for you.

Most doctors consider Alph 1 to be an Autoimmune disorder.
Prolastin-C is great if you can afford it. Are you having trouble in that area? The switch that the manufacturer Grifols made in distributors was a GREAT one. Accredo is much more professional and even has backup nurses.
