Cross-Talk Between Lung and Liver in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency:
A Call for Integrated Care

Learning Objectives

* Apply current guideline recommendations for timely testing and screening for
alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) to facilitate early diagnosis and
interventions

Identify best practices and practical strategies for the collaborative monitoring
and management of patients with AATD

Assess the phase 3 landscape of investigational therapies for the treatment of
liver disease associated with AATD

Supported by an educational grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.

Should be tested:

with polyangiitis, or unexplained bronchiectasis

Parents, siblings, and children, as well as extended family of individuals identified with an
abnormal gene for AAT, should be provided genetic counselling and offered testing for AATD

Interpreting Liver Enzymes (GGT, AST, ALT), FIB-4, and APRI

GGT, ALT, and AST can be elevated in individuals with Pi

In population studies, elevations were only found in 11% to 24% of t 1 t t t
participants, although liver fibrosis was reported in up to 30% of

participants

Repeated elevated liver enzymes are associated with an increased risk of
developing liver disease in individuals with Pi*ZZ (7.6x increase in risk)

How Often Should Monitoring Be Done?

Initial Evaluation

Referral to a hepatologist and use of
laboratory measures, LSM, and
ultrasound

Frequency of Liver Monitoring

Frequency of evaluation of patients
with AATD-associated liver disease is
based on LSM:

+ Lower LSM: Every 2-3 years

+ Higher LSM: Every 6-12 months
