KROK 1 2015 – Question 138 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A 28-year-old patient undergoing treatment in a pulmonological department has been diagnosed with pulmonary emphysema caused by splitting of alveolar septum by tissular trypsin. The disease is caused by the congenital deficiency of the following protein:
- A. α2-macroglobulin
- B. Transferrin
- C. Cryoglobulin
- D. Haptoglobin
- E. α1-proteinase inhibitor
Hint
Think about the plasma protein whose congenital lack leaves the alveolar septa unprotected against proteolytic enzymes in a young patient.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
