Partners

AlphaNet and our trusted partners below are here to support you in managing your Alpha-1 condition. This is done through a combination of AlphaNet’s Alpha-1 Disease Management and Prevention (ADMAP) Program and augmentation therapy.

Augmentation therapy is the use of alpha-1 antitrypsin protein (AAT) from the blood plasma of medically screened healthy human donors to increase the alpha-1 levels circulating in the blood and lungs of individuals with Alpha-1 that have been diagnosed with lung disease. For more information click on the Augmentation Therapy Skinny Little Reference Guide.
