due to some wheezing I have, and a strong family history of COPD. The blood test that was carried out was Serum protein electrophoresis, which came back normal. I asked the GP if A1AT is included in that and she said yes.

Cirrhosis as a result of Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) - does anyone have any experience of this?
Hi Everyone, I was recently diagnosed with "early stage cirrhosis secondary to Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease" and today I had an endoscopy which showed several (non-bleeding) varices. I was chatting to my brother this afternoon about my diagnosis and tests and he just happened to say "do you remember

Alpha 1 Antitrypsin
Hello, new to here. Just found out I have Alpha 1. Been unwell for about 18 mths and GP's just kept telling me I was ok. Did my own research and knew that my dad had it - just didn't know of the lung side of the disease. My dad died of COPD and his mum pancreatic cancer (also had pernicious anaemia.

Sweet syndrome
Thank you to everyone who has replied to my erythema nodosum post. I saw a wonderful new rheumy on Friday who recognised my latest episode as the very rare Sweet syndrome. Another auto immune disease. However my PMR has completely resolved. My joint issues now are related to this neutrophillic disorder

Double Whammy
In addition to the COPD, I have a rare lung disease called
alpha

antitrypsin
deficiency, which has no cure. The only thing they offer is a weekly injection which $10,000 a month. I can certainly rule that since I am a 78 widow living on a small pension. Any alpha ones on this site?
