The Big Fat Reference Guide or “BFRG” is the cornerstone of AlphaNet’s health management and disease prevention program for those diagnosed with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. This is the most comprehensive guide to living with Alpha-1 available anywhere.
The BFRG provides detailed information specific to Alpha-1. Features include medical assessment, testing and treatment, diet and nutrition, activity and fitness, the management of environmental risk factors, coping with Alpha-1, insurance and disability and much more.
For the Healthcare Provider, the BFRG helps in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of patients with Alpha-1. Be sure to check the BFRG appendices for sample order sheets (for both inpatients and outpatients), treatment plans, and other practical information to facilitate the care of your patients with Alpha-1.
The online Big Fat Reference Guide is quick and easy to use. A simple registration allows the BFRG to be personalized to the specific needs of the user. If you are a healthcare provider, be sure to indicate this when you sign up, so you’ll get complete access to the most appropriate documents.
It is available at www.bfrg.alphanet.org.
