Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

 

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Alpha-1 or AATD) is a rare inherited condition that can affect the lungs, liver, or both.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a protein made by the liver that helps protect the lungs from damage. In people with Alpha-1, the body does not produce enough of this protein or the protein does not work properly. As a result, the lungs may become more vulnerable to damage, and abnormal alpha-1 antitrypsin protein can accumulate in the liver, increasing the risk of liver disease.

Symptoms and disease progression vary from person to person. Early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and appropriate treatment can help protect lung function, support liver health, and improve quality of life.

For some patients, augmentation therapy may be prescribed to increase alpha-1 antitrypsin levels and help slow the progression of emphysema.

Through Specialty Intelligence™, we combine clinical expertise with personalized support to help simplify treatment and keep patients connected to the care they need.
