Oxygen therapy can help you live:

A longer life: Oxygen therapy can reverse the negative effects of low blood oxygen and improve survival rates. Research studies on people with severe COPD show that more daily hours of oxygen therapy result in more positive health effects. In one study, long-term oxygen therapy increased life span by as much as 6-7 years.

A better life: You don’t just want to live longer. You want to live as well as you can, for as long as you can. Oxygen therapy helps you do that, by letting you stay active with less shortness of breath. People who use supplemental oxygen can exercise longer and harder, which leads to greater overall fitness.

Your liver makes large quantities of AAT and releases it into the blood. Although other organs can make some Alpha-1 protein, the liver is estimated to make more than 90% of the AAT protein for the body. People who carry two abnormal genes for Alpha-1 produce an abnormal AAT protein. Though there are many abnormal genes that can cause liver disease, the "Z" gene is the most common abnormal gene responsible for liver disease. The “M” gene isn’t abnormal.
