What is a Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) Test in Visit Clinic?

What is Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT)?

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) assesses liver function by measuring markers that reflect liver cell integrity. The liver filters toxins, produces bile, processes nutrients, and synthesises proteins. When liver cells are stressed or damaged, they release specific enzymes into the bloodstream , this test quantifies that release.

What does Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) measure?

This test measures the amount of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) in your blood. AAT is a protein made by the liver. It helps protect the lungs from damage by enzymes. The test analyses a specific liver enzyme , such as ALT, AST, ALP, or GGT , or a metabolite such as bilirubin or albumin. Each marker reflects a different aspect of liver function: ALT and AST indicate cell damage, ALP and GGT suggest bile duct involvement, bilirubin reflects waste processing, and albumin indicates protein-making capacity. A standard blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm and processed in a NABL-accredited laboratory.

What do the results of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) mean?

A single mildly abnormal result does not always indicate disease. Strenuous exercise, certain medications, or recent alcohol can temporarily elevate liver enzymes. Your gastroenterologist will assess whether the value is persistent or transient, and whether further investigation , including imaging or additional blood tests , is needed.

It is also standard in annual health packages for adults above 35.

Who should get Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) done?

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) is often ordered when patients have early-onset emphysema, unexplained chronic liver disease, or a family history of AAT deficiency. It may be part of a respiratory or liver workup and can lead to genetic testing if abnormal. Even without obvious symptoms, the following groups should consider regular Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) testing: people who consume alcohol regularly, individuals with a BMI above 28 (linked to fatty liver disease), patients on long-term medication such as statins or anti-TB drugs, anyone with a personal or family history of hepatitis B or C, people with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, and adults above 40 as part of an annual preventive check.

What happens after the results are ready?

Book a follow-up consultation at Visit Clinic to discuss the results. Your doctor will interpret the findings, answer your questions, and advise on treatment or monitoring. If results are abnormal, the follow-up will be prioritised accordingly. Reports are accessible digitally and shareable with any hospital or specialist in Bengaluru.
