Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Protein Typing

Arizona rates for HCPCS 82104

Identifies which forms of the protein alpha-1-antitrypsin a person carries, by separating out the protein variants present in a blood sample. It examines the protein itself rather than the gene that makes it. It is used when a low total level of this protein suggests an inherited deficiency, which can lead to early lung disease and to liver problems.
