Rare Disease – Alpha-1 & Prolastin Explained
In this episode of Sage Infusion Deep Dive, we recognize Rare Disease Day by focusing on Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency—a genetic condition that can lead to serious lung damage and is often underdiagnosed.
We break down how Prolastin infusion therapy works to replace the missing AAT protein, helping protect the lungs and slow disease progression. You’ll also learn what to expect during weekly infusions, potential side effects, and the lifestyle choices—like avoiding smoke, staying vaccinated, and keeping regular appointments—that support better outcomes.
Plus, we discuss why family testing matters and how infusion centers play a vital role in delivering safe, supportive care for patients living with Alpha-1.
