About this test
When liver enzymes are abnormal and the viral screen is clear, these antibodies identify autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cholangitis — both of which respond to treatment that would be wrong for other liver disease.
What it measures
- Anti-smooth muscle antibody
- Anti-mitochondrial antibody
- Liver-kidney microsomal antibody
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
