Overview of the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Blood Test
The Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Blood Test measures the level of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) in the blood. Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a protein produced primarily by the liver and released into the bloodstream, where it helps protect tissues from damage caused by certain enzymes involved in inflammation.
This is a single-biomarker test that specifically measures Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (Serum) levels. It is commonly requested as part of an assessment of liver health, respiratory health or inherited protein deficiencies affecting alpha-1 antitrypsin production.
People may choose this test when investigating abnormal laboratory findings, monitoring previously identified alpha-1 antitrypsin levels, assessing liver or respiratory health, or obtaining additional laboratory information before consulting a healthcare professional.
Laboratory results should always be interpreted in the context of symptoms, medical history, family history, medications and other relevant clinical investigations.
What Does the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Blood Test Check?

Turnaround times generally begin when the laboratory receives and processes the sample rather than when the sample is collected. While most results are available within the expected timeframe, specialist investigations may occasionally take longer. Results outside the expected range should be reviewed with a GP, respiratory specialist, liver specialist or suitably qualified healthcare professional.
Understanding Your Results
Your report will include your Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (Serum) level together with the laboratory reference range used for interpretation.
Reference ranges may vary between laboratories due to differences in testing methods, equipment and reporting standards. A result within the reference range does not always exclude a health issue, while a result outside the reference range does not automatically confirm a diagnosis.
Results should always be interpreted alongside symptoms, family history, medical history, medications, lifestyle factors and any other relevant clinical information. If you have concerns regarding your results, speak with a GP, specialist or qualified healthcare professional.
