The Impact of Screening Your Patients for Alpha-1 | ALPHA-1 EXPERTS

Watch alpha-1 experts Dr James Donohue, Dr Monica Goldklang, Dr Kyle Hogarth, and Dr Igor Barjaktarevic as they discuss the impact of screening for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, also known as genetic COPD, alpha-1, or AAT deficiency, and patient reactions and perspectives about being screened for alpha-1. They describe the sense of relief patients feel when they’re diagnosed with alpha-1 because they realize their COPD isn’t necessarily due to anything that they've done: it's genetic. An alpha-1 diagnosis also often motivates patients to be more proactive about their health. These alpha-1 experts also encourage you to promote screening and become a leader in lung health within your practice. A COPD diagnosis should not be considered complete without screening for alpha-1.
Free alpha-1 test kits are available for HCPs to screen their patients with COPD or treatment-resistant asthma for alpha-1.
