AAT
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) is a crucial protein primarily synthesized in the liver, playing a vital role in protecting the lungs from inflammation and damage caused by neutrophil elastase. A deficiency in AAT, often due to genetic mutations, can lead to conditions such as emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and liver disease, including cirrhosis. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for mitigating disease progression and improving patient outcomes.
