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.
