If you are at risk for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), here’s what to do next.
While being at risk for AATD may not be the news you were hoping to receive, it could change the way you and your healthcare professional fight. If you are diagnosed with severe AATD, treatment options are available.‡
The next step is to get tested. Using your AlphaID CONFIRM kit, your healthcare professional can perform a simple fingerstick to determine the level of alpha-1 antitrypsin in your blood to help reach an AATD diagnosis.
Order your AlphaID CONFIRM kit now and make an appointment to get tested.
AlphaID CONFIRM provides the supplies you need for your appointment.
Along with your AlphaID CONFIRM kit, you will receive some helpful support with a Doctor Discussion Guide for starting the conversation with your healthcare professional. You’ll also receive an AATD Fact Sheet that helps prepare you with more information about AATD and AATD testing.
The kit and processing of the results are free. Remember, only a healthcare professional can perform the fingerstick.
Contact a healthcare professional with experience testing for AATD.
When it comes to getting tested, you'll need to make an appointment with the healthcare professional who is treating your COPD or with a healthcare professional who has AATD testing experience.
Be sure to bring your AlphaID CONFIRM kit, Doctor Discussion Guide, and your AlphaID™ At Home Genetic Health Risk Service Report, if you have one, to your appointment.
