Your alpha-1 globulin fraction is normal, suggesting adequate levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin and other acute phase proteins in this band.
A critically low alpha-1 globulin fraction raises suspicion for alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency — a genetic condition that increases risk of early-onset emphysema and liver disease. The alpha-1 band consists primarily of AAT.
Seek medical evaluation. Alpha-1 antitrypsin level and genotyping should be performed to confirm or exclude Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (a lung-affecting genetic condition).
Alpha-1 globulin: {{value}} {{unit}} — critically low (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})Low alpha-1 globulin suggests possible alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. This protein is the main component of the alpha-1 band, and low levels increase risk for lung and liver disease. However, a low-normal level can also be a normal variant.
Discuss with your doctor. A specific alpha-1 antitrypsin blood test is needed for confirmation.
Alpha-1 globulin: {{value}} {{unit}} — below reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A borderline low alpha-1 fraction may be a normal variant or may indicate mildly reduced alpha-1 antitrypsin levels. Clinical context is important.
If you have unexplained lung or liver disease, discuss alpha-1 antitrypsin testing with your doctor.
Alpha-1 globulin: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowYour alpha-1 globulin fraction is normal, suggesting adequate levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin and other acute phase proteins in this band.
No action needed.
Alpha-1 globulin: {{value}} {{unit}} — within reference rangeYour alpha-1 globulin sits in the healthy midrange, reflecting balanced production of alpha-1 antitrypsin.
No action needed.
Alpha-1 globulin: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalA borderline high alpha-1 fraction often reflects a mild acute phase response — inflammation causing increased production of alpha-1 antitrypsin and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein.
No specific action needed. If elevated alongside other inflammatory markers, discuss with your doctor.
Alpha-1 globulin: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highElevated alpha-1 globulin indicates an acute phase response — the body is producing more alpha-1 antitrypsin and other acute phase proteins in response to inflammation, infection, tissue injury, or certain cancers.
Discuss with your doctor. The cause of the inflammatory response should be identified and treated.
Alpha-1 globulin: {{value}} {{unit}} — above reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A critically elevated alpha-1 fraction indicates a major acute phase response from noticeable infection, extensive tissue damage, or advanced malignancy.
Urgent medical evaluation is needed. The underlying cause of this profound inflammatory response requires immediate diagnosis and treatment.
