Testing for diagnosing alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is generally accurate. Although no single type of AAT test is perfectly accurate, the combination of test methods enables AAT deficiency to be effectively identified with high levels of confidence. Do I need follow-up tests? If you have an ini...
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD, OMIM #613490) is a rare metabolic disorder affecting lungs and liver. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the US orphan drug act on AATD by providing a quantitative clinical-regulatory insight into the status of FDA orphan drug approval...
Since the identification in 1963, understanding of the molecular mechanism, natural history, clinical phenotype, and progression in AATD has improved from simple interpretation in the 1960s to mid-1990s. In general, outcomes are better than originally thought, clinical illness is not a given, and ...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin levels in patients with mutation Full size imageDiscussion Having previously been regarded as rare, AATD is now considered to be a prevalent genetic disease. Current recommendations are for measurement of serum AAT levels in all patients with COPD, regardless of age and disease ...
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)-mediated liver disease is a toxic “gain-of-function” inflammation in the liver associated with intracellular retention of mutant alpha-1 antitrypsin. The clinical presentation of the disease includes fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure. However, the pathogenic ...

1-acid glycoproteinα1-antitrypsinhaptoglobinorosomucoidMost clinical conditions are accompanied by corresponding changes in serum levels of some, if not all, of the acute phase proteins. While conditions that affect the acute phase proteins are usually inflammatory in nature, non-inflammatory conditions ...
