ALPHA 1 ANTITRYPSIN (STOOL)
Alpha 1 Antitrypsin (AAT) is a protein that is produced in the liver and released into the body.
An alpha-1 antitrypsin tests can be used to help diagnose the cause of early onset emphysema, especially in people who do not have obvious risk factors such as smoking or exposure to lung irritants such as dust and fumes.
When you don't have enough alpha-1 antitrypsin, you might have Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. It can affect two major organs in the body - the lungs and the liver. The reason is because the defective protein that characterises Alpha-1 is important to both of these vital organs.
When Alpha-1 affects the lungs, it can cause COPD and is called inherited emphysema.
When Alpha-1 affects the liver, it is called inherited liver disease.
