Improving Screening and Early Diagnosis of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD): Why Is the Unacceptable, Acceptable?

Overview / Abstract:	To facilitate the diagnosis and management of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), clinicians require an understanding of the patient and clinical characteristics that should prompt screening, including a family history and signs of lung or liver involvement. This educational tool supports an easy translation of knowledge and encourages informed decision making for screening and testing patients for AATD. Access expert commentary, resources, and an animated video to be shared with patients who have a high probability of AATD, to increase awareness around common conditions related to AATD, how it is screened, and how to communicate with their healthcare team. AATD is underrecognized even though early identification is so critical. Education is needed to support early diagnosis and management of patients with AATD. Early detection can slow AATD-related symptoms and disease progression, encourage healthy habits and lifestyle adjustments, and lead to beneficial interventions to improve disease prognosis and patients’ quality of life.
