23. Alpha-1
antitrypsin deficiency, or alpha-1, is a genetic condition
that runs in certain families and often affects the lungs and liver.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin protects lung tissue from damage caused by
neutrophil elastase, a substance released by white blood cells during
infection or inflammation. Without enough alpha-1 antitrypsin,
neutrophil elastase is free to destroy air sac tissue.
Smoking worsens the damage, because cigarette smoke
weakens the ability of alpha-1 antitrypsin to protect lung tissue.
ALPHA-1 DEFICIENCY AND SMOKING
24.
The most common signs of lung disease in people with Alpha-1:
Shortness of breath
Wheezing
Chronic cough and sputum (phlegm) production (chronic
bronchitis)
Recurring chest colds or pneumonia
Low tolerance for exercise
Non-responsive asthma or year-round allergies
Bronchiectasis
THE SYMPTOMS
25.
Early diagnosis of Alpha-1 is very important because quitting
smoking and early treatment are both essential to help slow
the progression of Alpha-1 lung disease.
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency can’t be diagnosed by symptoms or
by a medical examination alone; you need to get a
to know for sure.
ALPHA-1 TESTING IS EASY
