Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AAT)

[Guest guest]

OK, I posted a question the other day about AAT. If you are still

looking for answers about your breathing this maybe the answer.

The American Thoracic Society has recommended AAT testing for all

patients with COPD and/or reversible asthma and family members of those

with these diseases.

Here is a toll free number you can call to get a FREE test kit. All

information will be confidential as it is part of a research study by

the university of South Carolina.

The number to call is 1-877-88-62383

AAT deficiency is the most prevalent , potentially fatal hereditary

dis3ease of caucasians. It is responsible for up to 3% of chronic

obstructive lung disease cases in the US. Asthma is a chronic

obstructive lung disease.
