Because diseases associated with Alpha-1, such as emphysema and cirrhosis of the liver, can occur even in those without Alpha-1 and are often identified as being "self-inflicted" by cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, the diagnosis of Alpha-1 is frequently overlooked. While there is currently no cure for Alpha-1, one of the best protections against the potentially harmful effects of Alpha-1 is knowledge.

Alpha-1 can be detected by a simple blood or cheek swab test. A physician can order this test. Some companies providing augmentation therapy offer free testing programs.
