Alpha-1 is an inherited disorder that may result in you developing a serious lung/ liver disease and passing the defective AAT gene onto your children. An estimated 100,000 people in the U.S. and a similar number in Europe are estimated to have the severe deficiency. In normal individuals large amounts of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is made in the liver and released into the blood. In AAT deficient individuals, the AAT made in the liver cannot be fully released into the blood.

Lactulose is a synthetic sugar used in the treatment of liver disease and constipation. Lactulose absorbs ammonia (produced in liver disease) from the bloodstream through the intestinal wall. In the treatment of chronic constipation it draws water into the bowel, softening the stool. It consists of monosaccharides fructose and galactose.
