A new study presented at the 2013 American Thoracic Society International Conference suggests that using Alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor (A1-PI) to treat patients with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) can help slow down the progression of emphysema. The study showed the efficacy of A1-PIin preventing the loss of lung tissue as measured by computed tomography (CT) scan lung density at full inspiration (TLC), which is a more sensitive measure of disease progression ...Saturday, 25 May 2013
A1-PI can Slow Down Emphysema Progression in Patients With Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
