4 ATS/ERS Statement: Standards for the Diagnosis and Management of Individuals with AATD AJRCCM 2003; 168: 818 Type A recommendation for diagnostic testing: Symptomatic adults with COPD, or asthma with airflow obstruction incompletely reversible Individuals with unexplained liver disease Asymptomatic individuals with persistent obstruction on PFTs with identifiable risk factors Adults with necrotizing panniculitis Type A recommendation for predispositional testing: Siblings of an AATD individual

5 ATS/ERS Statement: Standards for the Diagnosis and Management of Individuals with AATD AJRCCM 2003; 168: 818 Type B recommendation for diagnostic testing: Adults with bronchiectasis without evident etiology Adolescents with persistent airflow obstruction Asymptomatic individuals with persistent obstruction on PFTs and no risk factors Adults with C-ANCA positive vasculitis Type B recommendation for predispositional testing: Individuals with family history of COPD or liver disease not known to be attributed to AATD Distant relatives of an AATD individual Offspring or parents of an AATD individual Siblings, offspring, parents, distant relative of an individual heterozygous for AATD allele

6 Targeted Screening Suggestions for Clinical Recognition of AATD Early onset emphysema ( age 45 or less) Emphysema in the absence of a recognized risk factor Emphysema with prominent basilar hyperlucency Unexplained Bx Unexplained liver disease Necrotizing panniculatis C-ANCA +ve vasculitis Family history of : emphysema, Bx, liver disease, panniculitis
