From extreme tiredness to frequent chest colds and chronic coughs, patients with antitrypsin deficiency, a rare genetic disorder, may experience these symptoms that affect their quality of life. This should not be the case. Allow us to help. Our infusion services are specifically designed to address antitrypsin deficiency and help manage your symptoms.
What is Alpha-1 Therapy?
Alpha-1 Therapy is a specialized treatment for individuals with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). This genetic disorder leads to low levels of a protective protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin, which helps protect your lungs from damage. Without enough of this protein, lung tissue can become damaged, leading to conditions like emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Through Alpha-1 Therapy, we provide regular infusions of purified alpha-1 antitrypsin protein to help replenish the levels in your blood and lungs. This therapy works to:
- Prevent lung damage
- Manage chronic respiratory symptoms
- Improve overall lung function and health
The Benefits of Alpha-1 Therapy

By increasing your body’s levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin, the therapy can help alleviate symptoms such as chronic cough and shortness of breath. - Improve Respiratory Function
Rebuilding alpha-1 levels helps your lungs function more effectively, improving your overall ability to breathe. - Reduce Frequency of Infections
