What is Alpha-1-Antitrypsin (AAT)?

This blood test measures the level of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT), a protein made in the liver that protects the lungs from damage. Low levels can indicate a genetic disorder that increases the risk of lung and liver diseases.

Why is this test important?

AAT testing is important for diagnosing Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, a genetic condition that can lead to emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and liver disease. It helps guide treatment and management strategies for affected individuals.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
