Alpha 1 Antitrypsin near me in Bhubaneswar

The Alpha 1 Antitrypsin test measures the concentration of alpha-1 antitrypsin protein in the blood. Low levels may indicate an increased risk of early-onset emphysema, COPD, or chronic liver disease, while normal or elevated levels can be seen in situations such as inflammation, infection, pregnancy, or hormonal therapy. However, normal or high results do not necessarily rule out an underlying genetic condition. In some cases, doctors may advise genetic testing along with the AAT test to identify specific mutations linked to abnormal protein production.
