Alpha-1 Prevalence and Underdiagnosis | ALPHA-1 EXPERTS

Watch alpha-1 experts Dr James Donohue, Dr Monica Goldklang, Dr Kyle Hogarth, and Dr Igor Barjaktarevic as they discuss why alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, also known as genetic COPD, alpha-1, or AAT deficiency, remains so highly underdiagnosed and why they advocate for alpha-1 screening. As Dr Hogarth says, “Alpha's sort of lost in the noise of all of the obstructed diseases that all of us deal with.” Alpha-1, a genetic condition, has a wide variety of presentations and the disorder goes far beyond pulmonary medicine. Today, 90% of people with alpha-1 remain undiagnosed. There is no way to clinically diagnose alpha-1: It can only be uncovered through a lab diagnosis. But screening for alpha-1 is fast, free, and accurate with AlphaID™.
Free alpha-1 test kits are available for HCPs to screen their patients with COPD or treatment-resistant asthma for alpha-1.
