Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Test Results Receiving test results Many AAT test results are available within a few business days, but the exact timeline depends on the type of testing that is done. Because different kinds of laboratory analysis can be performed, you should check with your doctor about the...
Purpose: The Alpha Coded Testing Study investigated the risks, benefits, and psychological impact of home genetic testing for 伪1-antitrypsin deficiency. Methods: In the study, 996 adult individuals requested and returned a home-administered, confidential, fingerstick blood test. Results: Individuals ...
Results of a survey of patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Respiration. 2006;73:185-90.Strange C, Stoller JK, Sandhaus RA, Dickson R, Turino G. Results of a survey of patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Respiration 2006;73:185-90....
To test the pathogenetic role of the phenotype MZ of α 1 -antitrypsin/α 1 -protease inhibitor (PI) in acute anterior uveitis (AAU), 156 patients with AAU were examined. Sera of all patients and 120 healthy controls were PI-typed using isoelectric focusing. There were no significant differe...
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a rare genetic disorder associated with the development of liver and lung disease. AAT is a 52-kD glycoprotein, produced mainly by hepatocytes and secreted into the blood. Agglomeration of the AAT-protein in hepatocytes can result in liver disease. Exposur...

Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD): What is A1AT? A1AT is a serine protease inhibitor secreted primarily in liver parenchymal cells and to a lesser extent in macrophages. It protects tissues from enzymes of inflammatory cells by inactivating especially neutrophil elastase (and also a variety ...
Inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) is listed among the three most common genetic disorders in Caucasians. It considerably increases the risk of progressive obstructive lung diseases, mostly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Data on the A1ATD prevalence in Poland are scarce, no studie...
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin protects against the Leukocyte enzyme Neutrophil elastase When Alpha-1 Antitrypsin is deficient, neutophil elastase results in tissue damage Lung alveolar damage (most common, resulting in pan-acinar Emphysema) Liver injury (less common) Skin Injury (rare) IV. Presentations: Clini...
Results: Since the original description of AATD by Laurell and Eriksson in 1963, testing methods have undergone major changes. Currently, alpha-1 antitrypsin protein is quantified by immunologic measurement in serum, and the phenotype is characterized by isoelectric focusing and/or targeted genotyping ...
