Specialized Care for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) therapy is a specialized infusion treatment for patients diagnosed with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, a genetic condition that can lead to lung and liver disease. Alpha-1 therapy is a plasma-derived protein replacement treatment that increases AAT levels in the bloodstream and blood, helping protect lung tissue from damage caused by inflammation and environmental factors and slowing disease progression.
