Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency is a deficiency of a protein that is made in the liver and travels through the bloodstream. This protein protects the lungs and liver. This deficiency can cause lung disease, that can develop into emphysema and other lung diseases. Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency is an inherited condition and would need a blood test to detect the insufficiency. If this simple blood test reveals a positive result, it is recommended that the rest of the family are tested as well.
