What does it measure?
The Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (A1AT) test: Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is a protein in the blood that protects the lungs from the damage caused by activated enzymes. Laboratory tests measure the level of A1AT in the blood or identify abnormal forms of A1AT that a person has inherited to help diagnose alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) helps to inactivate several enzymes, the most important of which is elastase. Elastase is an enzyme that is produced by white blood cells called neutrophils and is part of the body's normal response to injury and inflammation. This elastase breaks down proteins so that they can be removed and recycled by the body. If it is not regulated by A1AT, elastase will also begin to break down and damage lung tissue.
