Understanding Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA) in Dilution by IFA
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune liver disease. It happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks the bile ducts, resulting in bile buildup in the liver. This causes scarring of the liver and can even lead to liver failure. Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) are produced as a part of this autoimmune response and are present in up to 95% of PBC patients.
The Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA) in Dilution by IFA test detects and measures anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) in the blood,...
What does Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA) in Dilution by IFA measure?
The Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA) in Dilution by IFA test is used to measure the amount of antibodies directed against mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. This test helps diagnose autoimmune liver diseases, particularly primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). It distinguishes PBC from other liver conditions such as autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and viral hepatitis.
